Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs

In the past months I've been trying quite a few different power cords in my setup. A fellow Agoner that is very knowledgeable about power cords stated that power cords that support strong low end performance generally roll off the highs. More and more, that experience seems consistent with me too. I'd sure like to find a reasonably priced cord (closer to $500) that can support powerful low end performance and maintain extended highs. Do you have an opinion on this based on your experiences? We know this is all system dependent, but have you found a power cord that can perform both frequency extremes with no roll off?

Grant, before I placed the order on the T3 and returned the demo, several days went by, and with additional time the sonic presentation changed to something I could not live with. (this was with over 300 hrs of break in on the cord)I experienced listening fatigue that actually made my ears hurt. Changed my mind on placing the order.

I tryed about 1/2 dozen cords on my PS audio Premier and I always go back to the VH flavor 4 with the Gold connectors, It gives my the best lows as well as the highs without losing the dynamics as I find with other cords. Maybe It's because of the large conductors the flavor 4 uses.

Foster_9,
Does your PS Premier have the standard nickel-plated outlets in it? I have read that replacing these with different ones, i.e. Porter Ports, really smooths out that top end. Thanks for listing your system components. This should help others with common components in being able to recommend a power cord to you. Since the only thing common in my system with yours is the AZ Satori, I hesitate to recommend a cord for your Premier. I currently have a mix of Fusion Audio, Acoustic Zen, and Telwire cords in my system which I'm very pleased with for the moment.

I found that the Synergistic Precision AC works best on a PPP - Extended highs and wonderful lows. Also, I agree with Ozzy. Once you go all Tesla they will provide EVERYTHING. Now I know why Leica_man keeps preaching it! LOL! ;-)
