Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors

Hi dear fellows.Does anybody tried these type of connectors in power cords?In my case I don`t know which could be the differences in sound performances between them.I heard that rhodium connectors have more extended hights frequences , more airy and fluid than gold connectors, but also that they can produce a non-lively sound, with too much control.Regarding Gold connectors I red that they produce a warmer sound, specially in the mids, but with not so much detail as rhodium.Is it true?I will appreciate your comments to make a proper decision.Thanks in advance!Raf

You are right, but gold is less precise. I really F. hate inferior details and precision. That is why you need to adapt the other tools to create a musical involving sound. For me it is very easy to solve it!

I agree with your very last post Bo, exactly how I build!, your quote,why you need to adapt the other tools to create a musical involving sound, my quote, I believe power should be the most transparent sounding as possible, a good basis to build off of to create your own tast of sound of music.

Cables like the Audioquest Wel Signature give you a new level in lstening to music. It has to do with more details, beter blacks and a superior physical stage. When you use cables like MIT and Transparent to make the mid and high freq. more involving you loose a lot. I have auditioned many sets with some Krell and Wilson speakers that you needed cables like Transparent to make it more involving. They forgot that they needed thse cables caused of the properties of their speakers and amps.
