Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
Audiolabyrinth, at CES I talked with Furutech about why they did not have beryllium copper GTX-Ds. The answer was conductivity. I asked whether solid copper with gold or rhodium plating was better. He said yes, if it was thin plating. My present w... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Mapman and Jmcgrogan2, it seems quite clear that no one here other than you guys has such an "inquiring mind that wants to know." We all want to know of others experiences with HFCables. Personally I doubt if either of you are qualified to judge e...

Mapman, luckily nobody cares what you think and only views you as a fly in the ointment.

Jmcgrogan2, and why should we believe you? And even if true, does that make the cables worthless and why does the manufacturer tolerate it? And finally why is this posted on a thread dealing with personal experiences with these cables?

Mapman, nobody ever appointed you as the ethic police. Kiss off.

Audiolabyrinth, presently in NM I have the LSA speakers, stands for them and a H-Cat preamp and amp. I also have Zilplexes which have made the tiny 10 x 13 x 8' room usable. The rest of my system when I'm there has to be shipped or transported fro...

Mapman, I totally disagree with your statement, "The ultimate sound is not the only thing that matters in the world, even in these parts."I know that David is not a dealer unless it is for heavily modified gear.

Tobes, I am of two minds with regard to HFCables. I have little or no training in understand the influence of magnets on ac currents in wires. I have had many conversations with Rick Schultz and have seen his efforts to explain how they work, but ...

Melbguy1, yes I did try the GTX-Dgs but didn't like them as much as the GTX-Drs. 
Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?
Nile49,I have had a major problem with my Ultra SSs as the tend to lock up. I suspect that the spike would not and will try them. Thanks for the heads up. 
Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet
At CES I ran into Keith Mook showing the newest version of his father's famous record cleaner. It is pretty much automatic now and quiet.. It is reduced in size but still pretty large.I had one of the first units long ago and found it effective bu...

Lak, I certainly agree that each of the four levels of HFC is better than the previous level, but I do vividly recall putting the original CT-1s in and being shocked by the speed and high end of these cables. They were a totally new sounding cable. 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
I think that there is little question that copper is the best cabinet as well as the best material for ac transfer. But it is just too soft. I talked with Furutech at the CES, and was told that Beryllium copper is just insufficiently conductive. I...
