Rhodium...hmmm

Yet to try cu mitch2...this is gold plated (edit) copper...fi-11 plus gripping pretty well,no issues with it not gripping well enough.Kind of burnt on the whole merry go round...think ill just sit and try and leave it all alone for 2 weeks.

You guys are tough audience...im surprised im liking it as much.Yeah i kind of thought the same to mitch2/erik/carls.Gold/copper has always been go too for my tastes, as for Furutechs highend...28 might be last stop.

Cable being used is simple furutech absolute power plus...14 gauge occ copper used for my cd player.The cable itself is well made but as stated it came with both ends rhodium.It just didnt have that full warmth in lowend...it does now.Cable was bought used and i assume he ran until breakin was achieved.I was set to write this cable off that 14 awg isnt enough to give up the goodies/cd player...its ok to be wrong,right?

I posted because i achieved what i was hoping through mixing ac ends fwiw.

Just looked at these charles1dad...They look fast and racy.What group was your purchase from.

Wow...sweet charles.Every days a new day or new system.What a treat for the ears.Yeah petg60,well said...the more i read/listen i think ive made right choice...both are copper base connectors/furutechs

Fwiw i did put the fi-15 plus/iec gold back in.The rhodium does sound nice and clean,but gold doesnt sound so bad either.

I just switched out to rhodium/iec again...I am in a small room and the rhodium is just more controlled.The gold fi -11 ac gives it enough warmth/lowend for atc 19v2.

Clearthinker...thanks for input.I am a regular cleaner of my connectors,not so much worried about oxidization.The difference between the 2 iec’s is quite negligible.My room i can hear very well the trade offs of the plating.They both offer something that the other does not...rhodium with its even/slightly controlled balance is really quite nice on alot of my music...but i have concluded at the end of the weekend the gold with its slightly more open sound stage/ect was the one to leave in...🎼

No blindfolds or handcuffs ok...Happy thanksgiving all.

It was his articles and posts (along with dave/zenwave) that were really informative to me.He (dave/zenwave) has it seems to really have a good grasp on materials and "understands’ implications to his builds.Good read on his insight.

Good post knownothing!
