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

Audiolabyrinth, thanks for your message. I just got back from two weeks business trip and I am planning to post a review on IEGO Silver AC connectors. So far I am very pleased with Silver plugs on my preamp. Besides, Look forward for new release of Wattagate AG Duplex Receptacle Outlet.

Gold and Rhodium outlets in my system sounds drastically different. I have modded Magnepans,  with home made foil cables for my USB, and XLR. Solid copper Litz as my power cables. 
Rhodium sounded Flat, Bleached Bass, with a cooler tonality. Gold Sounded more natural, and had a fuller sound, Instruments sounded more correct. I had both outlets for 2  weeks, and in the end in my application Gold  was vastly superior to Rhodium. 
I know this is an old thread, but anyone claiming that Gold and Rhodium outlets sound the same, either has a system not capable of showing the difference, or the are talking  without actually having listened to both outlets. 
Some people in this thread are owed an apology.
