Audio Research LS 17 SE Power Cord

I'm looking for power cord recommendation's for an Audio Research LS 17 SE.  I was looking at something in the $500-$700 range.  Two cords I was thinking about are the Shunyata Zitron Viper and the new JPS Pac Black.  I currently have Acoustic Zen interconnects and speaker cables, so their power cords could be an options as well. 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.   

Thank you.

Thank you for all that replied.  I will check these out.  I have heard very goods about the JPS Pac Black as well.  The gauge is a bigger than 8 so that's good.

As a point of information, the power consumption of the LS17SE is specified as 130 watts, which in the USA and other 120 volt countries corresponds to about 1.1 amperes.  8 or 10 or even 12 gauge is certainly overkill for that amount of current, for any reasonable cord length.

Good luck.  Regards,

I use a synergistic black UEF cord. It's a 400 dollar cable with fantastic performance on my LS 17, non SE.
