Oyaide or Furutech plugs

Hi everybody,

I'm currently thinking about buying a new DIY mains cable.
It will probably go to my headphone amp (Viva Egoista 845) or maybe to my DAC (Weiss Medea+).

I made my choice about the cable itself, I'd like to try the Furutech FP-TCS31.

But I have some hesitation about the plugs, between the recent gold Furutech FI-28/38 (G) and the Oyaide P004/C004 (beryllium/palladium).

I'm looking for some very liquid and smooth sound, with no spike/highlight in the treble or in the high-medium which could sound agressive.

Did some of you try these plugs and could help me to choose by giving me some infos about the differences?

Best regards,
Sylvain

Thank you for your answers.
No problem for me if the plugs are difficult to use, I won't build the cable myself, I'll pay a professional to do so.
Great, I'll go with the FI-28 and FI-38 (G) since they are less expensive than the Oyaide plugs.

Well, actually I now have some hesitation about the cable, between the FP-TCS31 and the older FP-3TS762, which is described as very good for big amplifiers.
Do you have some recommandations/preferences between these two cables? Price does not matter.
I'm searching for the smoothest and creamiest possible cable, with no rise in the high medium or treble and which won't be too thin in the bass department.

Hi,
I ended buying a FP-TCS31 with FI-28(g) and FI-e38(g) plugs.
I’m very happy with this cable. Maybe not as wide as my FP-3TS20 but warmer, thicker sound and great bass. The treble is less stressed. There is the same smooth midrange sound, which seems to be the house sound from Furutech.
I think it’s my best cable up to date.
I use it with my preamp and my tube headphone amp with much pleasure.

Thanks for your help.
