Cardas Golden Reference Power Cable Reterminate?

A'goners,

I would like some feedback regarding my Cardas Golden Reference Power Cable.
Im using it on an Ayre cx-7emp Player. She is one of the older 15 amp, certified burgundy versions with the burgundy Oyaide (stlye) plastic plugs. The plugs do not have Oyaide logos anywhere on them. I am comparing them to the Oyaide replacement plugs available from The Cable Company.

I am considering having the cable reterminated at Cardas with their new connections to get new copper plated rhodium over silver blades and clips.

Anyone with experience with newer versions with different terminations or experience with the new terminations?
Does anyone believe I will benefit from the change?

Nutty - Your observation as to the Cardas GR is directly the opposite to my experience.   I have an all Ayre system with Vandersteen speakers, and there was nothing worse on my system than was Cardas - especially the GR.  Ayre's own cable is Cardas drived which made me buy the Ayre cable (sent it back) then the whole line of Cardas (all sent back).....just plain muddy and wrong in my system.

..just read further......  Wireworld in my system was the direct opposite of Cardas......I guess that's what makes the world spin.
