Esoteric X-01 power cord


I currently use a Wolff Bohica power cord on my Esoteric x-01 and, lovely though it is in many ways, I'd like to try and get some extra weight and body into the low and mid frequency ranges. I suspect this may require a heavy guage, possibly copper cord. What do other owners use and does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks
Mark

Thanks all for your (mostly) helpful suggestions.

I intentionally kept the details of my system quiet, firstly, because you're unlikely to have experience of them (UK cottage industry manufacturer, which have been extensively tweaked) and, secondly, because I recently heard another digital source (computer based) in my system deliver that extra body / fullness I now realise is missing.

There's been a couple of mentions of Shunyata cables and I've had a few many years ago (Python / Anaconda vx & alpha / KC v1 & 2). I do recall the Python and KCv1 having a very full sonic signature which could work well for me now. I'm also going to borrow a couple of warm sounding cords from a friend this weekend to try out.

The point Mooglie raised about plating metal is a good one. I've had most of the oyaide plugs and their sonic signatures differ quite noticeably. Given that these all fit the acrolink carbon barrels on my Bohica, then maybe I'll try some swapping around to see if that nudges me in the right direction. Sometimes a number of small tweaks can make all the difference.

Thanks once again for taking the time to share your thoughts,
Mark
