DIY Acrolink or Lessloss for Cary SLP-05?


On on the fence between these two seemingly open, transparent, dynamic and detailed power cords. I have not listened to a system with these. My current power cables are DIY VH-Audio Flavor 2's and 4's (amps and line conditioner). Most use the Furutech gold male plug and silver IEC.

Should I stay with my current power cable scheme or "upgrade" with the addition of the Cary?

I have owned Lessloss, and I presently own some Oyaide Tunami GPX. IMO, the Tunami GPX performs better in my system than did the Lessloss, in that the Tunami are clear, open and grainless without sounding veiled...a quality I detected in the Lessloss.

Member Stringreen presently uses power cords made with Acrolink wire and Oyaide plugs. He claims the Acrolink/Oyaide combo is substantially better than the Oyaide Tunami.

Based on my experience with the Lessloss and Oyaide, and also based on Stringreen's comments, I'd put my money on the Acrolink (or perhaps even save some dough and buy an Oyaide Tunami to try first).

It's unlikely I would go back to Lessloss after owning Oyaide Tunami GPX.
Clio09, what plugs are on your Acrolink? I'm considering an Acrolink with Oyaide 079 gold plugs.
I've yet to hear anything sound warm in my system that others have described as warm, so I'm purposely overcompensating with the Acrolink/079, and hoping they deliver even a little warmth in my system.
