Power Cords for Ayre K-5xe and V-5xe

I am looking to upgrade the power cords on my Ayre V-5xe and K-5xe. I was considering Kubala-Sosna Emotion, Purist Audio Dominus, Virtual Dynamics Master, and a few others. I am open to suggestions. Can anyone comment on the ones I've mentioned or suggest any that might be better? Thanks

Brusso, your findings are interesting. I have played around with a number of other power cords and almost all bested the stock Ayre cords.

Interesting that Richard would say that. If you look on audioasylum.com, Charles Hanson from Ayre has commented on a few postings that he suggests upgrading the power cords on the Ayre amps...even the new $15,000 monoblocks. I do agree that power cords will change the sound, but in many systems I think the improvement in sound is drastic. To each his/her own. It's great if you can save the money and still enjoy the music.
