Purist Audio, Elrod or Shunyata power cord?

Hi all,

Need some advice on the power cord for my amp.
I tried many other cables out there, and burned lots of cash still could not bring the desire performance.

I have tried many out... now am consider changing the power cord from the amp and the speaker cable.
I have Purist Audio, Elrod, and Shunyata on my list...
But envy you guys, I do not have a way to audition all of the cables from the list.
I also don't have the budget for a 3000+ cable, and will like to start work my way up to bring the desire performance.

My components are as follow:

Meridian G08 cd player
interconnect from cd to pre:Tara Lab The One+FGS interconnect.
power for cdp: MIT Oracle AC1

Edge Sign. One preamp.
interconnect from pre to power: MIT Oracle 350
power for pre amp: Hand made brand Shark silver.

Edge G8 amp.
power for amp: Liner Acustic OCC copper.

Speaker: Ascendo system E
Speaker Cable: Analysis Plus Solo Crystal.

What are your opinions if what I am trying to get out of is the vivid "body" that's got details, big sound stage, deep base but not too lean or warm at mid. to bring the as-real-as-live kind of sound?

any suggesstion is appreciated.

regards

I have used the Elrod sig 3 on amps and have found it to be the power cord of choice for me and in other systems. My buddy who could not afford the sig 3 is very happy with the non EPS-3 on his amp. They are close and for the used prices, find a sig 3. There are much better cords then the Elrod Sig 2 IMO. There is a local guy in New Jersey who's $200 cord out performs it.

I have tried the Shunyata black mamba V1 and it is very nice for digital as it really smooths out the sound and retains nice detail. I also use the Foundation Research LC-1 and LC-2 power cords and they are very nice also.

Happy Listening.
