Power cord choice?

Hoping to change (or upgrade) my current PC in use with my ARC CD3 Mk2. Currently I'm using a Locus Designs Polestar and setting a limit $600 max. I'd like to find a cord that can get more micro details from the ARC yet, I'd like to retain the smoothness but, try to open the sound stage and get a little more bottom in doing so. I listen to Alt rock (Sir Sly, The Killers, Gargage), rock, blues using Classe CAP 151 integrated and Apogee Slant 6s. I know this is subjective but, I'm also doing my best to work with my budget constraints and I'm not going to change if the improvement would just be slightly incremental. I'd like suggestions to consider, please.

LOL!!! Posting videos from Ethan Winer and AmirM on cables is like posting articles from the anti vax crowd on the benefits of .... vaccines


Next he’s going to post videos of Stevie Wonder evaluating modern expressionism … 😂🤣

All right, you guys win. If you can’t soak in some science from guys that are more experienced than most of us on this forum I guess I’ll give up.

That guy spent $28,000 on an Audio Precision sine wave generator?

Who’s the moron now?

All these "tests" are nonsense. It’s how the cables sound to those things on the side of your head.

The morons are those who believe in anything without questioning.  Yes, even those who believe in "science".

That makes a lot of sense. 15A inlets, esp with the female connectors having that notch in it, makes for a swiveling connection. I was advised, and will do it soon, to wrap the connection in Teflon tape to tighten the fit. 

Funny you should mention, I tried a swiveling connection with my female and had the same problem with it sliding out. Tried Kegel. Never thought to try Teflon.
