AC Plugs performance characteristics comparison

Posted by pixelphoto (A) on June 7, 2014 at 23:41:33

I’m in need of a new diy pc. I have decided to use SUPRA LoRad 3x2.5 Power Cable based on reviews, reputation and cost to performance ratio as opposed to my favorite ucocc cable which is a wee bit to expensive for me at this point in time. This new pc will be used on digital equipment. I will of course after breaking it in also test it on my Qinpu A6000 MKII Integrated Amplifier (The little amp that could).

I need the experienced expert advise on ac plugs (male/female) for this project. I have decided, again based on budgetary constraints to use one of the following two choices.

CABLE:
SUPRA LoRad 3x2.5 Power Cable Supra Lorad 3x2 5 Power, $19.00 meter.

Your advise concerning the performance characteristics of the carbon and rhodium differences would be greatly appreciated.
