The difference between the Red and the Blue cords is that the Red is designed for components that have transformers wound clockwise and the Blue is designed for components that have transformers wound counterclockwise.
The trouble comes into play when a component has say 2 transformers and one is wound clockwise and the other is wound counterclockwise. In this instance the cords will sound pretty similiar.
The only way to tell which cord you should use is by listening. Personally, I would give a Silent Source AC cords a shot. They are very close to the perfomace of the OM cords on many components but with a lot less hassel, and they are a lot less fragile.
