I asked Jorma Kosky about Rhodium connectors & this is what he had to say - "In my opinion and what I have heard when comparing different types of connectors, the Rhodium plated gives a flat 2-dimensional sound and that material was the worst that I have heard". Gold is better, though I personally prefer the Oyaide hardware which is finished in beryllium copper/platinum/palladium & sounds natural and well balanced to my ears.
I was using Oyade in my previous home, and now have switched to Furutech GTX. Cannot say if one is better than the other, both are excellent.
