Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle

And until to try you will never know. Gut feelings count for nothing when having a conversation about sonic differences. If these differences are real or imagined wont be know until an attempt to validate is made. This is the point at which those that experiment and hear a difference often have an advantage over those that guess there is no difference. 

My comment is based on the many other upgrades I have paid for, and heard no difference at all.  But I will in fact go out and buy a better plug, and wait to be blown away by the sonic improvement in my system.   🤣

Someone please explain these Furutech claims to me.  All the wall plug is doing is passing electricity from the main power cable to the plug on my amp or power conditioner.  That power than travels through various filters in my equipment, is transformed and eventually a very small amount goes into my speakers.  How, within all the known laws of physics, can the wall plug alter the sound coming from my speakers.  Really?  The three different coatings on the plug are going to give me three different sounds from my system?  Explain this to me in a way that is understandable.  Thank you.

Choosing Rhodium versus Gold Plating

Japanese audio commentator, Masamitsu Fukuda says the following on the different plating options:

“The new Rhodium plating offers high resolution, transparent and precise sound. The high signal-to-noise ratio delivers greater contrasts across the entire frequency spectrum along with tight and precise bass. Rhodium especially excels in the high frequencies which are detailed and clear. Overall rhodium yields a super responsive, delicate, expressive and neutral sound…”

“Gold plating is ideal for enthusiasts who prefer a flowing, somewhat warm and softer sound. With a slightly thicker layer of gold plating than before the sound is a touch more precise allowing a stable soundstage and a smoother tonal balance. With better response and dynamics the new cable yields a detailed, powerful bass and an overall expressive sound….”

“The unplated copper reveals none of the characteristics of the rhodium- or gold-plated versions. It is full of vitality and energy with powerful bass and midrange texture so some people will find this model very interesting indeed. There is a slight tendency towards brightness in the midrange but the clarity yields a very special vibrancy to the sound. It sounds very attractive with full-range dynamic music like jazz…”
