Rhodium...hmmm

I recently purchased pc for cd player with rhodium ends on both...I wasnt feeling the mojo from it and was not content with lowend resolution/grunt.I switched ac/male end with nice furutech copper and it has made the difference...Im surprised at the difference that it has made.Bass has more info/definition/warmth and high end still has sparkle with the neutral transparency that rhodium (iec) seems to offer.I know this has been talked about alot and probably deserves a duh!.. Rhodium indeed has its place in my system after all this time.Like it.

Yet to try cu mitch2...this is gold plated (edit) copper...fi-11 plus gripping pretty well,no issues with it not gripping well enough.Kind of burnt on the whole merry go round...think ill just sit and try and leave it all alone for 2 weeks.

i have a few of the gold plated here and can live with those.  I never understood what Cardas or Furutech liked about rhodium.  I would rather have old-fashioned tin.

Rhodium is a poor conductor.  Not recommended.
