Power cord suggestions for Hegel integrated amp/dac?

I currently own a Hegel H360, and have been thinking to upgrade the stock power cable. The H360 is 250wpc, which would likely benefit from something beefier than the 16AWG cable they provide.

Wondering what other Hegel owners out there are using and what seems to be working best for people.

(I reached out to Hegel, and their official response was that since they don’t test aftermarket cables, they couldn’t recommend a specific make/model, but said a heavier gauge PC couldn’t hurt. Would be interesting to know what they bring to audio shows here in the US to demonstrate their products.)

For Shunyata, I was eyeing the Venom HC cable. Any thoughts? Unfortunately, the more massive Shunyata cables won't work in my current setup due to space limitations.

You must try an Audioquest Storm.  If you can live with the stiffness and cost, there's no turning back.

@janehamble Thanks for the suggestion. I have Audioquest Castlerock speakers cables going to my Vandersteen Treos, so I like the idea of AQ synergy in the system. I could probably swing the AQ Thunder.
