What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam?


My price limit is around $1K new or used. The new pc would be plugged into a dedicated line(12-gauge Romex)using an Oyaide DX/WPC-Z wallplate. My amp is a Valve Audio Predator/Mullard CV-2493-Northstar Sapphire CDP and Focus Audio FS8 speakers. Cables are JPS Labs-Superconductor Q/Plus. I would be replacing an Opera Audio Ella Baby pc on the Predator. Want to improve clarity in complex passages, add bass slam/definition and create a more open/liquid presentation without giving up speed-resolution and neutrality which are my systems strengths. After many hours of research here is a list of power cords that could work.
Cable Research Labs-MK 2
DH Labs-Red Wave
JPS Labs-Kaptovator
Silver Circle Audio-Vesuvius
Stealth Audio-Cloude 99
VooDoo Cables-Black Diamond Dragon
Your comments regarding these power cords would be appreciated along with any other suggestions. Look forward to your responses!

@ Bo1972, whatever!, I know your last post is YOUR opinion, I know for fact Taralabs has a better performing mid-band than any P.A.D. cable.
Hi John, I never said what is best, I said their is an uncanny mid-band that is really magical about Taralabs cables, The new cables are available over the next few weeks,It's funny that no cable company has the equipment or the know how to make a cable like the Taralabs Evolution Grand Master to have the Frequency of a 32 gauge conductor and still be 000 gauge speaker cables!, By all means, this is the all time referance in cables!
@ Bo1972, Hi, I really was not talking about my power cord, Taralabs is bringing a new cable line to the market place called, The Evolution series, there will be a couple new power cables in the series, Bo, I was referring to the Taralabs interconnects and speaker cables, I have a bit of info on the new flagship cables, not the power cords yet, I am sure the P.A.D. limited power cable is a fine cable, as is all P.A.D. cables., good to see you as well, great review you just done on your new thread, p.a.d. limited part 2.
@ Nick_sr, Hi, Not all exspensive power cords are over priced, some of them, you get what you pay for, total performing bliss!, The P.A.D. limited edition here has garnished many user positive feedback all over audiogon, this one and the BMi oceanic, stage three concepts Kracken, Taralabs cobalt power cord has been said to be some of the few that is considered some of the best available with a few more I left out, however, there is some that is overpriced just like their is with anything else you may buy in audio.
see what I mean Nick_sr, they are not kidding, this post is in regards to my last post for you, cheers.
@ Nick_sr, Hi, I undestand what you are saying, years ago it would make sence, I have a $14,000.00 amp with $15,900.00 1-meter interconnect on it, does it sound better than the same brand interconnect that was $2,800.00, let's put it this way, you could be nearly deaf and hear a difference, it would be a difference like going from a volks wagon to a ferrari, the difference is mind blowing!, about the power cords and amp scenereo, the power cord really does not have anything to do with the amp, the power cord is simply purifying the power, when this happens, the real performance is exposed of the amp used, the only reason powercords sound different on different equipment, Is system dependency, say an amp sounds like crap with this power cord, the same power cord may sound good on another amp, you are useing the certain metal, dielectric, fillers, etc.., useing the power cable to match the voiceing of the amp, the power cord can add it's own character of sound to the amp if not careful, alot of audiophiles are counting on just that!, the power cord adding it's own character, some may want this to happen to change a sound they are not happy with, I do things alot different than this, with any cable, there are more ways to skin a cat here, I do what works best for me, that is my cables are the reference, if a componet does not have the 3-D presatation, tone, sound stage placement, etc..., that componet is gone!, alot easier for me, I know exactly where the problem is when it happens, instead of changing this cable, or that cable, so on and so on, I do not know about you, but at the cost point of cables I bought into, I cannot afford that scenereo of chaseing the cables by the tail syndrome!, cheers.
