Does anyone know the sonic differences between the Furutech rhodium vs. gold plated copper version?
A guy I know used one of Oyaide's high end ones with rhodium. He said the difference was immediate, and the grip is ridiculous. Gold isn't as tough so the grip probably won't be as good, or last as long. I'd be worried about that over performance.
Furutech uses a stainless steel spring system to maintain jaw stiffness. Grip like a gila monster.There other things about plating on Furutech. I have looked at their plating under magnification. The FPX series is OK. The base metal buffed finish is not as good as in the GTX. The GTX plating/polish is flawless. With the spring system and the smoothness of the substrate and the plating a comparable plug can be plugged and unplugged a lot without ever seeing a scar in the plating.
If using a single GTX outlet, would you recommend that it go on the wall or on the Uberbuss to power front end equipment?
Easy call for me. Since I've heard them all and what they do for an already very good system I'd put it in the wall and get that goodness to all of the gear. That predisposes some things like cabling, but yep : The wall.
Hey guys,I also have an UberBUSS plugged into a Maestro outlet at the wall. About 5 mins ago I ordered a GTX-D Gold from The Cable Company and will be swapping it into the wall first. I have two Maestro outlets I can move into the UberBUSS to replace the stock P&S, but I have no idea how to do this. Hopefully it is intuitive.Rob
Any thoughts on the Ayre L-5xe?
Well it looks to be just 4 air coils... there's no ferrite material supposedly, so they must be core-less. Their overall filtration couldn't be much.
