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.

Check out Pine Tree Audio, https://pinetreeaudio.com. Hand made, custom cables.  The owner, Jesse has worked at audio / video studious, extremely knowledgeable.  Give him a ring, tell him what you are looking for out of the cables and your gear, he’ll recommend whatever design he feels is best suited for what you are looking for and he’ll custom make it.

He uses very high quality materials and he takes great pride in his craft.  If you aren’t caught up on “The Name” on a cable, you can have fantastic cables, great synergy and outfit your entire system for the price of 1 or 2 power cables.  Anyone I have talked to that has some of his products has the highest praise for both the products and Jesse.  Anyone I have recommended Pine Tree to has thanked me for pointing them in Pine Tree’s direction.  I have no affiliation at all with Pine Tree, only great buying experiences and advice from Jesse.

I'm sure better cables help but really?

Your better bet is to try the Iso-Acoustic Pucks instead of swapping power cables.

@brylandgoodman  Take a look at Zavfino cables.

Their entry level cables start around $150

The OCC cables will improve the dynamics of your system and improve on the details and bass textures, but they are a little above of your budget, but they are worth the investment

Power Cables - ZavfinoUSA

The OCC cables are exceptional and perform much better than other brands that do not use OCC copper.

I don’t have them sitting on anything special though. Just the wood stands I built for them.

Now that I see this, I think you’d be better off investing in some good metal stands that can be filled with sand or lead shot.  Stands can make a big difference and may well help tighten up the bass quite a bit.  I’d do this before throwing $$$ at cables.  FWIW...
