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.

FWIW I built my own with Furutech components. I had a lot of fun doing it. I was able to get just the right lengths for everything. They look great I might add.

I don't know your system, but if you are looking to clean up the bass, I would first look at repositioning your speakers, or putting some spikes or another type of feet to support them.  What speakers are you using and how are they positioned/supported?

RE: power cords. It is easier to con someone than it is to convince someone that they have been conned.

Lots of good suggestions, keep em coming, and thanks. 
 

My speakers are Harbeth c7es3 xd. I have played with positioning as much as I can. I don’t have them sitting on anything special though. Just the wood stands I built for them. I have been thinking of trying some isoacoustics iso-pucks under the speakers to see if that helps. I don’t have any experience with isolation so not sure what to expect?

You might look at the Zavfino cables.  I find that they have a good grip on the bass.
