What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam?

Assuming your power may not be clean to start with, which is often the case, I would first try a suitable power conditioner to accomplish your goals before investing in a fancy power cord. THere is a good chance that will accomplish your goal and you would then find that different power cords make little or no difference as long as what you use has basic quality construction.

I say this because power conditioners are much better suited to effectively address any power issues at play than power cords.

Different power cords might result in a difference in sound as well in any case, but are much less well suited as the best place to address power issues in general.

I've been to many live shows. SO I guess there goes that theory.

Once, I saw Peter Tosh in a 100,000 seat football stadium. The sound sucked! A lot of MArley recordings on my stereo are way better.

I've heard some good sounding reggae/ska in smaller venues with good sound as well and I recall it well!

HAving said all that, I believe the right power conditioning can improve clarity and bass slam with reggae, ska or whatever.

Gotta do it right though! Lots of ways to do it wrong where it will not matter. That's all I can say for sure on the topic.

My approach is for amps, which draw large amounts of power and current, you want a heavier gauge power cord that is also good quality, essentially a bigger pipeline. Build quality is important for durability and also for connector quality as well mainly.

For digital devices, pre-amps, etc., size of the pipeline is less critical. It becomes much greyer what matters most here, but in general I would go with a mainstream company that has a focus on audio sound quality, but would hesitate to go overboard.

$100-$200 max seems to provide ample choices for both categories based on some recent investigation I have done.

The pwoer cord into my DAC has some wear on it and I woudl like to replace it. I am looking at a Pangea power cord that comes in for under $100 on sale as being a decent bet for both value and quality. No doubt more could be spent but I struggle to have a clear justification for doing that. I have decent but not SOTA power cords on my amps and DAC currently and the sound is already quite top notch I would say. Bass slam can hang with the best reference systems out there I have heard, so the current power cords though nothing out of the ordinary, are doing quite well in that regard in particular.
