Acrolink in-wall cabling?

Hello,
I am in the process of running two dedicated circuits for my equipment. I will be upgrading the receptacles possibly to Oyaide SWO Series. Is there sonically a difference with the Acrolink in-wall cabling vs. 10/2 Romex? The Acrolink is quite expensive at $30.48 per ln. foot x 72 total ln. feet needed = $2194.00. I may be wrong but I believe the amount would be better invested in equipment and to just purchase 10/2 Romex. Is there a higher grade of Romex, or is the jump to better cabling that dramatic? I don't want to get too crazy with all of this but I do understand that with purer copper the better the sound. Thanks...Joe

I might recommend using just a good 10 ga. Romex as Hooper suggests.
The greatest improvements will come from investing your money in the Oyaide outlets perhaps even with the Acrolink wall plates and power cords with Acrolink connectors. Absolutely the best sounding I have ever heard.

Sno,
Please do share your experience with the Oyaide or Acrolink line.
Obviously you must have some input as to what value these products can represent in a system. Please, share your experiences with us. I am sure that you spent the same hours and investment that any manufacturer or dealer would spend to asses any component for inclusion into their product or line.
Waiting anxiously for your reply.

Best Regards,
Michael Wolff

With the number of used plants available on Audiogon, the power plant option is a very viable solution and improvement.
What I have done with both my P-500 and P-600 is to open them up and remove the ferrite rings which were installed by the factory. Then replace the PS Audio ports on the back with the flavour of Oyaide outet I wish to substitute. I liked both the SWO-DX and SWO-GX (Rhodium over silver and palladium over Gold)
This slight mod which is so easy to do, seems to improve the performance of the PS plant units.
