?Morrow or ZenWave Power and interconnects?

My current power cord into my PrimaLuna HP amp (running KT120’s) is a Laspada Audio Apollo II Power Cable, 10 gauge, 6 footer with Rhodium coated IEC connectors. 

It’s an ok power cord but it’s past time to upgrade and I’m considering either the Morrow Elite Power Cord or the ZenWave DPS-4 Power Cable. (Wall plug ungraded to a Furutech GTX-D)

(At the same time I’ll get the Morrow Elite interconnect, with 192 SSI WIRES or the ZenWave D4 interconnect)

For both Morrow cables/interconnect my cost would be  $2337 and for the ZenWave cables/interconnect $3265. It not the cost difference so much that’s got me hung but rather they both use very different approaches as to how they make their respective products. Both have glowing internet reviews.

I know ultimately this is about how it will sound in my room with my speakers, gear and ears. My preferences run neutral to warm sound.

I’d appreciate thoughts on these two possibilities or what might be comparable.

TIA

Zen D4 and D5 both are excellent. To me and my ears with my system the D5 was more neutral over the D4's. I will add D5 interconnects on the next round. Dave at ZenWave easy and a pleasure to deal with.

To my surprise the (found a used set) Nordost Frey 2’s were a tad brighter than the Zen D5’s and they are keepers.

In the end (What end??)I got Nordost Frey 2’s (in use) and a ZenWave DPS-4 Power Cable is also on order with another Zen interconnect in the future.

Didn't want to buy/burn in the Morrow's just to hear and sort it out. I'll never know.
