Esoteric A-03 power amp - suggestions on a power cord.

The Esoteric A-03 is a 50 watt Class A 90 pound beast and need some ideas on a power cord that will handle that current / drive and not limit the amp's capabilities. I would like to hear from owner's of this amp or other members who have Class A amps. Purist Design who makes wonderful cables and run by a great  guy ; Jim Aud need not apply as to my ears they made the sound too thick and slow. ( to me ) So look forward to some seasoned responses.

If you want something to match the Esoteric amp, I would recommend the Acrolink cables.  They were designed for Esoteric Audio products.  I use an Acrolink power cord on my Esoteric SACD player and it works magic.  I paid 400.00 used for it and it retailed for a little over a grand.

Gary, it sounds as if you are looking for a bit more speed and resolution that Purist Audio cords can deliver.

I am very happy with the Silent Source The Music Reference high current cords on my Pass Labs XA-100.5 mono-block amps.
High resolution with no trace of grain, and very quiet too.

Cheers,
John

Hi Greg, I bought them used from a local fellow.
He only had one listed for sale, but I talked him into selling 2. ;^)
