Need advice on power cords for my Ayre system

Here is the system:

Vincent KVH-1 headphone amplifier
Audio Refinement tuner
Ayre CX-7e CD player
Ayre K-5xe preamp
Ayre V-5xe power amp
JM Lab Utopia Diva BE speakers
Interconnects are Nordost Frey XLR
Speaker cables are also Nordost Frey
Power conditionner is a Shunyata Hydra-8 with the Python alpha cord

The only missing things are the power cords, I am using the stock power cords at this moment. Since my equipment is already plugged into a Hydra, do I need to invest a lot $$$ in after market power cords to get the maximum out of my system ? Which power cords would you recommend for each components ?

Thanks a lot

I used the Cardas Golden ref in my system as well. But the mid freg are very poor. Because it cuts a freq. part in the mids. A Purist is superior in every part where you have to judge a cable. It can go a lot deeper in the low, the mids are much more open en the high's are also more open en sweet as well. A Valhalla is superior better in speed and resolution than a Cardas is. You are comparing a Ferrari with a Ford.

I had the change to try many many cables in my life. For poweramps The new Purist Audio Aqueous is by far the best I have ever heard on my poweramp. It is superior better than; Siltech Ruby moutain hill, Valhalla, Fim, Cardas Golden ref, MIT AC-1 Oracle. It can go an octave lower than other powercables can. The mid freq. are the most open I've ever heard. The hoghs are open but sweat. When we take a look at sources, powerplants, pre-amps the Nordost Valhalla has by far the highest resolution I have ever heard at a powercable. Just try them out and make your own statment. Because you are the one who only can make the right decision for yourself.
