Power Cable Suggestions Needed

Like the title says I’m looking for a few power cables.  Right now between my preamp, amp, streamer, dac, and conditioner I have two Shunyata Venom 3s. I’m looking for a cable that will help tighten up the bass.  Maybe even a touch lean in the bass could be good for my setup right now.  I worry that cables with this kind of bass could also lean to the brighter side in the upper mids and treble. I’d like to avoid that if possible.  My budget, 100-200$ per cable, isn’t much and I know I can’t expect miracles.  When I added the two Venoms it was a very substantial improvement, and Shunyata is definitely on my radar now. I’d be happy with more of their cables, but curious if there’s brands that are known for a more detailed, controlled bass response.

Definitely sounds like some experimentation might be helpful. In your price range I found the materials typically largely determine the sonic character. Copper warm, silver coated copper more accurate / detailed, all silver can be be harsh where components are harsh. 
 

Check out used cables . Com. Used go for fifty percent. The Cable Company has a lending library.

 

What is you equipment?

I’d recommend Cullen Cable.  They’re in your price range and offer a trial period so very low risk option.  Best of luck.

I also will say Cullen- excellent stuff and in your price range. Between various components I must have 5 or 6 Cullen Crossover power cables
