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?

Lessloss is no doubt a dynamic and natural sounding cord. Leaning on the organic side. Transparency is not a huge strength and neither is detail. The best bet is to buy them used. I feel vocals stand out the most with this cord but the highs roll off a tad. These cords really did take my system to another level and now that I have tried other cords all but one had to go.
I have a hard time believing that the Lessloss cord would ever sound harsh and fatiguing or bright. More compressed sounding than others on my system but never harsh which would lead to fatigue. No doubt they are a good cord and well built but not the end all like most cords. They will work fine on a lot of systems. I had 5 of the Lessloss cords at one time and really beleived they were going to be my last cord. I guees it is good to know that Lessloss is not the best with that model B&W but who knows, someone just may chime in and say they sound great with their 805's. Again it boils down to the synergy you are looking for. They have made a lot of people happy for sure.
