Hi rafael0054, yes, the Rodium furutech GTX-D sounds very,very, bright and in your face, like screaming!, with the first 3 to 5 hrs of listening, both Gold and Rhodium go through alot of changes the first 200 hrs, I do not recommend even listening to either of them untill 180 hrs, also, I will add, the seller of the furutech GTX-D Rhodium said that at 250 hrs, I have most of what these do, and that the last 10% to 20% will come at 500 to 700 hrs.., so I thought that my impression's was valid at this point, Raf, I bet I changed out the recepticles atleast 14 times, alot of hard work!, a pain in the ass really,so at this point, I came to a conclusion with the tube/solid state hybred digital player, then, all I needed to do is hear if the Rhodium did the same on the Krell 700cx, to my surprise, The Rhodium had the same sound on the Krell, just not to the magnutude of being on the Tara labs cobalt power cord, but still a incredible huge improvement, one big differnce the Rhodium did to the amp was made the sound stage much bigger with bomb like slam and timberal accuracy and transit speed that was off the chart's, I never heard this on the krell before, it's like I got a much more exspensive amp, so I ask you, do you think it is necessary for me to try the Gold on the amp?, after all the test I have done, and the multiple times of change out of the wpo's, I do not believe I need to hear the Gold on the amp, I might do it one time for you if you think you want to know, alway's a joy to talk to you Rafael0054, cheers.
what I would really like to know is, Has anyone mixed Rhodium and Gold Furutech GTX-D wpo's?
Hi Audiolabyrinth.
In my opinion if you are satisfied with the result of rhodium gtx d in the power amp, then I don`t see the convinience to test gold outlet.It could be advisable to test it only if you find something in the sound performance that doesn`t convince you( for instance if it is a sound with too much control, full of details but with no engaging listening, if it has restrained mids etc)but if it is not your case, then keep using the rhodium outlet in the Krell fpb 700cx.Anyway if you want to make the test with the gold version in the Krell, buy only if you want, I will appreciate your comments.Good point mentioned Michelzay regarding the relation between interconnects and speakers cablesĀ“s base metal and the gold or rhodium connectors.I will take it into account.Cheers!Raf
Audiolabyrinth,
It's possible you might like the gold on your CDP while using the rhodium on the amp etc.
