I wonder if they use soft gold plating instead of hard like they're supposed to

nope, by the beer-lambert law a 1-atom thick sheet of gold would be mostly transparent and would appear faintly blue where you could see it.

Rhodium is a good conductor of electricity but not as good as copper, gold or silver. As Mofi stated it resists oxidation well. It is more durable then the above metals and gives a very smooth finish which is one of the keys to its use.

My experience with rhodium plated plugs is that there is a glare to them BUT I have not tried all the rhodium plated plugs out there (notably not the FI-28M and not the one Paul uses).

Also it is very important to realize that the wire in between the plugs drastically affects the sound as a whole. A plug that results in a great sound on one cord can sound like poop (technical term) on another.

It also works with text. You probably didn't think this was going to be a bad post but here we are!

For the longest time I thought your av was one of those patterns they sometimes put in the milk-foam on the tops of lattes.

I never thought about it that way, I asked tumblr artist Sara Litzenberger to draw my favorite panda (Pushpa, resident of the Duisburg Zoo, frequently photographed by nature photographer Matias Appel) and that's what I got. Also got some warmup sketches

Take it to the coffee shop and see what they can do with it?
