need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord


I posted several months ago seeking recommendations for hi-rez, highly focused power cords in the tradition of the TG Audio Silver but with greater warmth or body. I did acquire a pair of Fusion Audio Enchanters and a VD Nite Platinum from the responses to my inquiry. However, after changes in amps, cd player, interconnects, and new Porter Ports, I find myself in need of advice again on the same matter. My system presently is: A Consonance Droplet 5.0 run directly into a Wyred 4 Sound ST 500 driving a pair of custom Legacy Focus clones using Eton drivers/midbass, metal dome mids & tweeters/NHT woofers. Both components are plugged into a PS Audio P 600 equipped with Porter Ports.
I have an Enchanter plugged into both the power regenerator and the CDP and a Wolff Gain with Oyaide Palladium/Gold plugs on the amp. Interconnects (balanced) are either Sunny Cables 1000's or Jungson Golden Dragons.
Speaker cables are Anti-Cables which I run directly into the speakers/crossovers bypassing binding posts.

My system is very detailed with very good focus and staggering dynamics. With good recordings, all is well and I'm quite satisfied. However, on some (many) recordings, horns, piano, and some guitar can some across aggressively. It has been recommended I replace the Oyaide plugs. Perhaps I will. What I would like are some recommendations on hi-rez, highly focused power cords that are to the laid back and warm side. I really liked the VD Nite Platinum but, it was too upfront for my system. Price is a factor in that I would like to spend $600 or less on the used market. Thanks in advance.

Still, if you know of a hi-rez, well focused power cord to the warm side that isn't foward and might take the edge off of a hot midrange (horns, piano, and some guitar on already hot recordings), please advise.

I don't think that such a thing exists, not because the sonic characteristics you are seeking are contradictory, but because, as Stanwal stated and you acknowledge, "everything is system dependent."

And also because the sonic differences between power cords can be expected to be subtle, elusive, and inconsistent, even as judged on a specific system, depending on line voltage, noise conditions, on-going aging of other system components, source material, seasonal temperature changes, and other variables.

And finally, as Mapman asked, "how do you know that a different power cord is the solution?"
