Advice needed: Have 2 Power Cables only need 1 - Which is better?

Hello All - I have 2 I think similar power cables for my Holo May KTE DAC.  I’ve tried both and like both but am trying to understand which one if either is higher end.  I believe they are BOTH versions of the Cardas Golden Reference Power Cord.  One of them is Running Springs Audio Mongoose and the other looks like a later generation Golden Reference.  Which would you keep?  Any experience with both?

jsalerno277 - TY very much for that.  I am going to keep the Running Springs version as I consistently prefer it slightly as I’ve listened back and forth over the weekend!!

Whichever sounds better to you. Learn to trust your ears.

Keep the other one in case your system changes or your taste does.

A little strong…still,point given and taken lol. But really if a manufacture can’t give you scientific paperwork and you A/B the daylights out with a High end revealing system to no consecutive results what else is there other than manufactures BS. 
The old saying, whatever the market will bare.

Love your acoustic treatment @1971gto455ho 

couple of frags, a 50 bmg round? And is that a 30mm round? Man that’s just got to help with room acoustics. Lol

a few of those going off, plus the captive power cords on your vintage equipment and yeah I 100% agree power cords make no difference…

just some good fun man. Nice system and I’m sure it sounds great. Some vintage stuff makes really good music. No aftermarket power cables required.
