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

I am looking for an AC outlet with Silver plating on Copper. Waatagate used to sell those, and it seems they are going release new models.
Do you know if there is any other vendor selling Silver AC outlet?

I recently replaced some of my AC plugs with Silver plated over copper NEMA/IEC and having excellent results.

I have the silver wattgate wpo's. I have the gold fi-11 on my power conditioner captive diy cable. Chris vh recommends the gtx-d(g) as an upgrade with positive gains. Mostly due to the base metal improvement. I'm nervous about it not working out, but realize I'll never know if I don't try.
