Power cord with warm treble + very solid bass ?

This is for a very good tube preamp.
I'm looking for a power cord that has a warm treble and upper midrange (that won't make me wince) but also has a solid, controlled detailed bass. And I would also like an overall "refined" sound that I hear in the higher end power cords.

Shunyata Anaconda CX and Stealth Dream have all the bass definition/control I want, but are a bit to raw/forward up top. The Anaconda CX comes very close but just seems to have a little fatigue-factor in the highs that is a problem in my system.

Older generation Anacondas have the mellow highs I am looking for but the bass is softer than I would like,
mainly when I use the preamp with headphones.

So is there some cord out there that is the best of both worlds?

while the hobby is subjective, all i can do is tell you what i am using. i like the fusion romance 2. i can't guarantee that the bass will be tight enough, but you probably can get a home audition.

from my experience, there are very few companies that design power cords satisfying your criteria.

i have reviewed mac cables and have great respect for steve. he designs a good product at a fair price.

when a suggestion was made regarding the mac soundpipe and the two posters confirmed its warmth, by warmth, does some mean, rolled in the treble and slightly elevated in the upper bass or lower mids, or does it mean a balanced frequency response with no exaggerated treble and no leanness ?

i have always thought of warmth as a coloration, but others may have another connotation.
