As per the recommendation of Shiraz ( George ) over on Head-Fi.org whom has owned the bulk version | version like I've which came with the gold plated brass black bodied options | yet recommended the one with the un-plated copper as the very best sounding ones, unfortunately I has placed my order before hearing back from him.
My only other option was doing un-plated copper on both ends as Judith has mentioned | but then I've heard more often than not, to much copper as far as connectors can cause one's system to become overly dark or laidback, of which my main three components certainly don't need.
I ended up trying the reverse of what you | Judith have both done in the past, with the dominant AC Male being Rhodium Plated Copper | Un-Plated Copper on the IEC Female side. It was upon reading quite a few views on silver plated copper connectors on various forums | manufactures that have used it as far as RCA | Banana Plugs | RCA inputs | Binding Post, the latter two mainly because of their continuous use on all things Audio Note UK | Kondo - Audio Note Japan.
Weird thing is, looking at the 7 pairs of SCs I own, all of 5 pairs, were re-terminated with silver plated copper banana plugs over any other plating, to my ears it sounds much much better than pure copper or gold plated copper banana plugs | so in thinking to be a little bit different, I thought once again I'd be worth a effort..., and I've to admit when it comes to IC's, I've long perfected pure silver over anything else..., period.
Lastly..., what the one reviewer stated here ( as it related to silver plating), caught my attention as well:
