PrimaLuna One, interconnects,cables,power chords

Has anyone experimented with interconnects,speaker cables, or power chords? I am thinking about upgrading from Audioquest King Cobras, and very inexpensive speaker cables, but I'm not sure if I should consider silver, or stick with copper.Maybe Zen's, or Analysis Plus.
I'm trying to get a bit more sparkle and transparency.
I presently have a Theta Miles CD player(which is good for taming the bass), Spendor 3/5se speakers.
Will changing tubes help?
Thanks for your help.

Rthomer, I am using a Shunyata Diamondback PC with my Prologue Two. Power Cords, in my experience have yielded greater results in my system than those of speaker cables & interconnects. I'd recommend starting with upgrading the stock PC on the unit.

Running a dedicated line, terminated with a high-quality outlet is also a very worthwhile 'tweak' that yields great results! (especially for the small cost)

Thanks for the input. Your right Newbee, the price/performance factor is amazing, and it outperforms my previous SS integrated at more than twice the price. But, just because it's inexpensive doesn't preclude spending some bucks to get more out of it, in fact it makes it easier ....but I appreciate and understand your point.
I am going to have to do some research on the tube rolling and consult with Kevin Deal..
Thanks again.

I recently upgraded the stock cord of the Prologue I to Harmonic Technology Pro AC 11 and have experienced appreciably better sound. I have a spare Eichmann Express AC cord that will ultimately be used on a conditioner for my cdp, that I plan to try with the amp. I use the modest AH! Interconnect, which Kevin recommeded over the DH Labs.
I agree with Jh2os that installing a dedicated line would be a good starting point.
