Gold or Rhodium

Have you compared the Furtech wall outlets? I am setting up a new dedicated room and need five wall receptacles; one for front-end sources, one for each monoblock, and two for subs. Each outlet will be on it's own dedicated line. Will use the GTX-D series. Question is should I go with the gold or rhodium plated or use a mix of the two? I've read that the gold offer a slightly 'warmer' sound but gold is soft and can be easily melted off if any sparking ocurrs.

Hi, I own the furutech gtx Rhodium and the wall frames, I went through weeks of trying both gold and Rhodium, it is a matter of preference, however, I must say,mixing gold and Rhodium together was was the worst sound, they worked against each other in my opinion.

Audiolabyrinth, that is my opinion also. Mixed cables IMHO are always a mess.

What I'm saying above is furutech has just introduced a new top of the line product, not sure how much the upgrade cost,  it's a whole new outlet.
