Ditto what Gunbei said. I tried both Oval 12s and T14s in my system and the 12s were definately the softer of the two. I also found the bass to be tighter and quicker with the DH Labs vs. fuller and rounder with the AP. From my experience in my system I'd say try the T14, and I'll re-emphasize that these things are notoriously system dependent so try before you buy. A while ago eaudionet.com would let you try DH Labs cables risk free for 30 days, so if they're still around you might want to try them. Best of luck.
