Which Oyaide AC plug for fuller mid-bass, paired with C-246 IEC plug?

129.33.19.254

I'm planning a little re-terminating project, and have the cord itself, and Oyaide C-246 IEC plug (20A version of C-046).

From a search here, it seems that P-079 would be better choice for the stated purpose (fuller mid-bass) than P-046 - is that everybody's experience?

Are there any sacrifices (sound-wise) to be made going with 079 instead of 046?

Perhaps a P-004 or P-079... - Duster 15:41:41 08/30/11 (3)
If you seek a comparison with a palladium Oyaide P-046 AC plug: I find that the gold Oyaide 079 presents a bigger bottom end than the palladium Oyaide 046, so there's certainly more abundant bass in total including mid-bass (but not as tight, IME). The gold Oyaide 079 also presents more tonal bloom from top to bottom, so it's not quite as focused sounding as the palladium Oyaide 046. However, with a tight sounding palladium Oyaide C-246 IEC connector doing duty at the component end, a gold Oyaide P-079 just might satisfy what you seek. If you instead opted for an Oyaide P-004 Beryllium AC plug you may be more pleased though, as I find it to be a mighty bass champion, especially when mated with an Oyaide R1 Beryllium AC outlet, which is the configuration I use for the power amplifier in my stereo subwoofer system.
- Thank you for the detailed comment. Actually, I have P-004 - it's just that... - carcass93 18:26:14 08/30/11 (2)
  ... I'd have to take it off another power cord, Acrolink with P-004/C-004 plugs, that I don't use - never found it to sound quite right on any of the 5 positions in the system. I prefer to think that it's Acrolink wire's fault though.
  
  I was going to sell it, but may be I'll do a little experiment first - and then sell.

    My power line conditioner array features three Acrolink 6N-P4030 power cords terminated with Oyaide 004 Beryllium AC connectors, so my whole system is affected by that combo. I must say I do like it. Is yours plugged into an Oyaide R1 Beryllium AC outlet?

    - There are 2 R-1's in the system: - carcass93 06:15:58 08/31/11 (0)
      One is replacement for PS Audio UPC-200's crappy stock PowerPort - that feeds CD player. Another (supposedly somehow customized) is part of Acoustic Revive RTP-2 Ultimate passive unit, that feeds amplifier.
      But these both, in turn, are plugged into their respective lines, that do not have R1's - instead, it's 2 SWO-XXX.
      BTW, my Acrolink 6N-P4030 with P-004/C-004 ends is not DIY, well not by me anyway. It's a cord made by MAC ("My Audio Cables") under the name "MacAC" - and I don't have any reason to suspect that something is not done properly.
