KubalaSosna Emotion or Furutech Powerflux?

I am going to replace my Cardas Golden Reference interconnects and power cords (the 2 pairs of speaker cables will remain, bi-wiring my B&W 803D).

For the interconnects (between Luxman D06 sacd player and Luxman top class integrated l-509u) I chose Kubala Sosna Emotion XLR.

I'd like a more dynamic, blended and full bodied sound, heavier on the bottom, smoother but not veiled, a bit (not more) forgiving but still detailed on the top.

For power cords I have to chose between the K-S Emotion and the Furutech Powerflux.

I read reviews of both, they seem to be similar in quality and sonic signature.

Some opinions about that two cables?

I also condider a Lessloss DFC Signature (which uses Oyaide plugs that I appreciated in the past in their maybe too dark Tunami GPX), but the Emotoon and the Powerflux seem to be of another class..

Many thanks

Think there is only one way to find out and that is to try them. Doesn't Cable Co. do loans for trial? Short of that, perhaps a dealer can arrange the same thing.
I had Cardas signal cables and a mix of Shunyata power cables and switched everything to K-S Emotion a while ago. On my system, which uses horns, it gave more texture without harshness and I recently upgraded to a stretch of Elation IC between the phono stage and line stage. My system is very musical, and strikes the right balance between conveying loads of information and presenting it in a natural way. I do attribute that in part to the cables, as well as the selection of associated components, but I think you really have to give it a go in your system, using your ears.
