RE: Le Journey Continues




Tangram,

The thing to take into account is I'm using mine like Judith did in more of a hybrid form using two different brands | said Viborg VM503S silver plated copper ac male alongside a Monosaudio F101 copper iec female, so basically it's taking the different plating flavors of each brand ( model ) and offers a sound which isn't therefore struck in the camp ( house sound ) of either brand, yet collectively offers a very very very balanced presentation.

So as I stands, I'm only looking to buy a Vanguard FI-60M carbon fiber | silver plated copper male, as well as sample one of the Viborg VF503G or Monosaudio F101G gold plated copper female plugs, for the sake of knowing that I didn't overlook any other possibility?. As usual I tend to browse between eBay or AliExpress were I'm able to buy what's needed individually as opposed to being forced to buy a set as seems to be the norm on Amazon.

I've about 3 different brands of rhodium plated copper males just sitting here unused as the result of allowing the silver plated one to settle in on its own, and can't fantom going in any other direction anytime in the foreseeable future.

Logically I tend to once again gravitate towards the plugs made by both Viborg | Monosaudio ( sister companies ) as I was told by those guys that make connectors both actually use pure copper as the base metal on their plugs, whereas some Chinese makes are suspect | as I'm not one of you more daring or technical types, I don't feel comfortable filing down the uppermost plating to know what lies underneath.

I'm chewing on the thought of adding some rhodium plated copper solderless RCA connectors onto one or both pairs of the Xangsane IC's, and stopping there.
