| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors I'm not aware of any Furutech AC products in silver.You could try IeGO brand from: acoustic-fun.comThey sell solid silver and silver plated AC outlets and connectors.I have ordered from them, their products seem to be of good quality and they are ... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors Most audiophools would probably agree that the terms cool, neutral and warm could be attributed to sound produced by audio systems but how you would/could measure it or quantify it I have absolutely no idea. I like your descriptor of "Sound Temper... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors Sabai, Your statement doesn't surprise me as I'm sure this whole thing is very system dependent. In my system I hear very little difference but if I had it all to do over again I'd probably go the rhodium route because of the increased durability.... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors I'm not sure Czarivey. For sure the whole subject is extremely subjective (no pun intended). As mentioned, I don't perceive much difference between rhodium and gold.The differences I described I attributed to the opinions of others (practicing to ... | |

| The Plangent Process playback system? Huh? Most of the songs on those early albums were great but the sound was pretty bad. Hopefully this "new" system will bring some sonic improvements. | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Audiolabyrinth, You can find the 10M's but paying for them is another matter. $1000 or more for a pair is definitely getting up there especially if they're a little tired. | |
| My New Large Advents Back in the day I had four of these stacked tweeter to tweeter. If I turned them up too loud they'd knock the needle out of the groove. They'll blow that foam apart if you're not careful. | |

| Berkeley vs. Simaudio I've owned both versions of the Alpha DAC. I preferred the DAC1 by a small margin over the DAC2 for it's slam factor. The DAC2 was bit kinder and gentler. At the DAC1's used price it could be considered a bargain. |
