RE: Pinging Jon L.




Tangram | Jon L.

Would I be wring to assume say using either a Rhodium or Silver Plated Copper AC Male with a Viborg VF503G Gold Plated Copper IEC Female resolve said weaknesses as heard by using the stock Gold Plated Brass Connectors, as I'm thinking by it only lacking in so much as top end extension | resolution, said AC Males should improve upon the cords already rather laid-back or rolled off nature.

In trying to stick with most of its overall performance | musicality my asking about said replacing the stock brass IEC Female with the Viborg VF503G, is in part because I'm thinking as it offers several different layers of plating as shown ( listed ) on their actual website:

3 Layer Plated:


1. Oxygen Free Copper Plated
2. Silver Plated
3.24K Gold Plated

I'm thinking that by adding said silver plated overlay, should in itself inject a better sense of top end detail | of should I be looking at limiting said task to maybe sticking with the alternatives of either Rhodium | Silver Plated Copper | Raw ( Red ) Copper connectors as far as the IEC Female plug goes?, as I recall Jon L. saying he preferred not to use Gold Plated Copper connectors for said task, yet as I've noticed something of late which caught me somewhat | but not totally off guard was there's currently offer a Rhodium Plated Accuphase 40th AC | IEC plugs available, go figure. Which tells me just maybe they've gotten reports ( feedback ) that maybe other users of this power cord are also seeking ways to get a better | more cohesive | extended top end response for this cord as well.

The other possibility that comes to mind is using a pure copper AC Male in tandem with either a Silver or Rhodium Plated Copper IEC Female | what say ye?. It seems while the possibilities are limited to what's available | I'm willing to go for it.

Back to the sounds..., take care of yourselves | I'll catch up with you both on the flip side.
