| XLR & Spades: Which is best? Pure copper, plated gold, plated rhodium or ? For me base material matters the most, then coating mix. I always find that pure copper as base material and silver/rhodium plating as coating works great. What is best, depends on your system, whether you want to push things, mellow or refine. | |
