Echole Omnia Power Cord Connector Switch

[Cellcbern]

Has anyone changed a power or IEC plug on an Echole power cable? I need to change the IEC connector on an Omnia AC cable from 20A to 15A. Wondering if I should stick with the (OEM) Oyaide 046 palladium over gold or try something different (e.g., Oyaide 004, Furutech NCF, etc.)? Must power plug and IEC connector be the same? Can different power plug/IEC connector brands/plating types be used on the same cable to tailor the sound or would I be risking losing the Echole "magic"? Thoughts and experiences appreciated.

Turns out that the Oyaide 046 connectors that Echole uses are not the stock ones that Oyaide sells but are customized for Echole. Haven't heard back from Echole as to the possibility of getting one from them, so I replaced the 20A IEC plug with a 15A Oyaide AP-004 (the "Armored" version which is not sold in the USA). If there is any downside to this I am not hearing it. The Echole Omnia with the AP-004 on one end sounds glorious.
