Power Cord for PS Audio Power Plant Premier?

I recently replaced my power conditioner with a PS Audio PPP. The old unit's cable had the 20A connector, so I installed the PPP with a PS Audio Statement PC expecting some synergy. While much better than the old conditioner in terms of definition, extension, and "Hi-Fi" characteristics, with the combo there is an emphasis on upper mid/low treble that does not wear well. I tried a JPS Power AC, much richer lower mids and musical flow, but rather dark on top. The PSA cord may just have a long burn-in, but I'm curious what others might have found specifically complements the PPP - or not. Say under $1000 for the sake of argument.

Dedicated 15A AC line, but plenty of compact fluorescent bulbs and a few dimmers in the house. Current demands are low - SACD/CDP, TT, phono stage, passive pre, Bel Canto Class D 150 wpc monoblocks.

I would guess that top of the line Stealth costs much more than PPP itself. Would not be very wise.
Ebm, do still have your TW table or upgraded to Simon Yorke?

while i have a ps audio power plant, not the premier, i use the original, ps audio lab cable to power it. the ss amp inside the power plant benefits from the gauge and sound of the cable.

I don’t have many aftermarket power cords left, but tried out an old PSAudio 12 gauge Lab cable, Wireworld Aurora, and a Cardas Golden Cross.

None improved things overall over the stock power cord, but in the interest of adequate gauge and ease of use, I’ve been making my own power cables , 4TC for source components, and 8TC for some class A smallish power amplifiers and a thousand watt plate amplifier for bass.

With some 8TC I made a 3 metre power cable for the Powerplant, and it’s doing something I never came across before- good stuff got better and the mundane stayed that way.
