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

That' a very good public/online review from Enjoy the music.com written by Jonathan Lo. It also provides price list of these power outlet. I have already recommended this article about a month ago, before all those gross and non-sense comments mentioned recently!!!!!!
Michelzay, I agree that was a well authored review, but is completely irrelevant to anyone seeking reliable feedback about the differences between the Furutech GTX-D(R) and GTX-D(G) wpo's. Perhaps you can link into the "gross and non-sense comments" you referred to as I must have missed them.
Hi melbguy1, yes, I have changed out the binding post and replaced some cap's inside the speaker's, it is however, a work in progress, to be clear here, I have started all the way from scratch building a system from 2012, it is my opinion, I am not doing to bad, do you remeber when you started out?, took you a few year's to get where you are now, correct?, that is where I am, hope you understand, thankyou.
Hi Michelzay, I have known about the above review for a few month's, I liked the review so much that it was my inspiration to get the furutech GTX-D Rhodium and Gold to audition for week's and with different industrial wpo's, this was the biggest pain in the aXX that I have ever encounterd in hi-end audio, I never want to go through that again, so to me the reviewer of the review of wall power outlet's here went through an incredible amount of trouble to give all of us his impression's, I respect and believe his review based up-on that I went through almost the same amount of hard work for my decision to use for a wpo on my system.
Audiolabyrinth, thanks for the clarification on your speakers. Yes I agree it takes time to achieve your audio goals. My current system has been an almost 7 year labour of love. But I also think you need to be realistic about where your system is at. I've owned a pair of $2k speakers of similar vintage (Infinity Renaissance 90's). The Rens simply had superior drivers and cabinet design compared to your JBL's including High Energy Emit & Emim drivers, a Watkins dual voice coil bass driver & excellent sound staging and off-axis performance. They were good reference tools, but my current S5's kill the Rens and have much better resolution, linearity, layering, timbre, dynamics, balance and slam. Really my current system has been a revelation. Now with the benefit of hindsight I can see how even my classic Rens were not up to the task of objectively evaluating the differences between the GTX-D(G) and GTX-D(R). That requires a well balanced high end system with excellent resolution, overall neutrality and no weak links. I don't doubt you've formed an honest view from your listening tests based on your equipment. I put it to you however that given a reference level system with which to evaluate the two outlets, your view would likely be very different.
