Rhodium...hmmm


I recently purchased pc for cd player with rhodium ends on both...I wasnt feeling the mojo from it and was not content with lowend resolution/grunt.I switched ac/male end with nice furutech copper and it has made the difference...Im surprised at the difference that it has made.Bass has more info/definition/warmth and high end still has sparkle with the neutral transparency that rhodium (iec) seems to offer.I know this has been talked about alot and probably deserves a duh!.. Rhodium indeed has its place in my system after all this time.Like it.

I'm interested in your method of arranging blind study listening for your purchasing decisions. How much time do you require to get it done. For your current audio system how long did it take to assemble and match your components/speakers/cables? How effective has this exercise been for you?

Thanks

What group was your purchase from.

I bought 3 Grand power cables (Preamplifier and mono block amplifiers) and 1 Master power cable for CD transport LPS.

You mentioned power cables (PC). A few months ago I purchased 4 PCs from a Latvia brand called Lavricables. Pure unshielded  silver conductor with rhodium plated connectors. They are sounding splendid in my system. The rhodium is causing no sonic issues whatsoever.

Very well stated and informative comments as to why rhodium is chosen as the preferred plating material by many High- End audio manufacturers. Now if an individual likes the sound or not is a subjective matter as is literally everything with regard to audio.
