Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier

I have a new Accuphase P-4600 amplifier and am looking for a power cord to replace the stock. So far I’ve tried the Cullen Crossfire and the IceAge OFC Frankencable. While both cables have worked well on my source components they have not performed better than the stock on the amplifier. So to those who have Accuphase amplifiers what power cable has worked for you?
 

As I mentioned in other threads Accuphase strongly recommends that you use only the stock cord and so far that has been the best. The. other two have resulted in a darker sound with less soundscape openness. 
 

I’ve been trying to stay under $500 for the cord but would be willing to go a little higher if it improves the amps performance.

You have great and revealing equipment so not surprised your hearing the PC differences.

I've had great experience with Shunyaya power cords. The Gamma is $498, so at your price. TheCableCo.com does 30 day free trials and they're very helpful. They have helped me with good advice and appropriate recommendations.

Once your Accuphase is broken in it might be good to contact them and see what they recommend and do a trial.

Once the amplifier is broken in I do plan to try a few with the Cable Company which is near me.

They’ll just have you eat fugu sushi prepared by a trainee.

That's funny.

Fugu restaurants are far less adventurous now because many of the fish are farmed and the liver is not poisonous. Takes all the fun out of it!

Prohibited… perhaps a translation made by an English is a second language to a Japanese person.
