Power cable question.


I am going to upgrade the power cable on my Jolida 502A amp and am not sure the way to go. The PS audio Lab II cable gets lots of positive press but the price tag is stunning. I have also read about the Asylum Power Cable and really like the price. The question is this: Is there $400 dollars discernable difference between the two cables? Which would you choose or do you have a better suggestion?
Thanks in advance
PS: I am thinking about an Ultimate Outlet also, are these worth the money?

Nobody has mentioned JPS Labs Power AC. I like it a lot and there are some favourable reviews at Soundstage also.
I found that the Harmonic Tech AC-11 sounded completely different in my system than the JPS Labs. All the power cables do have a different character. I tried the 15amp (stock) cord that came with the PS Audio P300 on my amp, and it improved the bass tremendously but, it was sour in the treble. So I don't think it's true that just any cheap cord will automagically give you a perfectly satisfying sound, unfortunately you still have to find the right one just like with other wires.
