Speaker cable binding posts

As I'm sure you already know there can be too much silver where things get a little bright. That's why I tone it down with a bit of Rhodium scattered about. Even my existing speaker cables do use Rhodium CF series bananas at each end with the previously mentioned WBT's. Additionally the 3% gold content in the CC's goes a long way preventing brightness. In one case a year or so back on a previous piece of equipment I had to throw in one lowly Gold plated FI-50 15A IEC as it got sickenlngly sweet/bright. Warmed it right up! YMMV and there's lots of work-arounds if it goes a little too far. Amazingly you can also fine-tune things at the component level with power cords using rhodium/gold AC plugs and IEC's which I find much more predictable/repeatable than jumping on the high-end cable-go-round. Lots of ways to skin these cats! And power cords seem more closely related to "an ounce of prevention" whereas interconnects more closely address the "pound of cure."

I am going for silver cable with rhodium furutech connectors mainly!

also all my power cords are rhodium plated. from there i might end up playing with my speaker cable connectors for the final adjustments and alternate between rhodium and gold to see which is preferable.

Hi guys,

I use my tone controls and they can be changed in an instance (when the recording I'm playing is a bit bright or lacks a bit of punch)  Just as a matter of interest. If you were to change out something to change the brightness of the system, how much brightness would you loose compared to changing the treble down (in dB)?
