WBT-210 NextGen RCA female gold vs silver ?

Hello, I have a McIntosh MR71 tubed fm tuner. I want to replace the stock female RCA connectors on it with WBT-210 NextGen female RCA's. Has anyone compared the Gold to the Silver? How is the bass response and bloom with the Silver WBT-210 NextGen? And how is the air and treble with the Gold? Which one has the most tonally balanced sound? Thanks in advance for your responses. Best regards, Stan

Hi Whatjd, I'm curious how the bloom, bass and bass slam (dynamics) are with the silver? It's for a tubed (14 tubes in all) and reworked McIntosh MR71 fm tuner that has a slightly warm sound, so maybe the silver would work well. Thanks! Best regards, Stan

Thanks Whatjd! I'm replacing the original RCA's and the MR71 was built sometime between 1963 and 1969. There's no telling what type of metallurgy was used in the RCA's back then. My gut instinct says that there's alot of nickel in the original RCA's. Stan
