DIY Acrolink or Lessloss for Cary SLP-05?

Why not try the Flavor 4 on your digital source. I did and liked the results. Between what you listed as options I would choose the Acrolink. The Lessloss at first listen will sound quiet, but what you're really hearing is that veiled trait Tvad mentioned. I have had an Acrolink and it is quite a nice cable. When I auditioned it with an Oyaide Tunami GPX I chose the latter because it did not give up much to the Acrolink in sonics, but was a bit quieter in my system.

All that being said if you're still open for suggestions and it is in your budget check out a Tel Wire PC.

The Fim AC terminals (available from Elusive Disc) look promising for a DIY Acrolink PC. I like the blade materials and they're a bit more reasonably priced than the Oyaides. I think I'm going to try a pair.

Why would such a little price difference be a factor. Oyaides plugs are the biggest asset in this application.

Tvad,

The 079 plugs, which according to Alan Kafton who sold me the cable imparts a slightly warmer presentation than the 046 plugs on the Tunami.

For whatever reason, in my system both the Acrolink and Oyaide cable sounded best on my amp.
