Esoteric X-01 power cord

I currently use a Wolff Bohica power cord on my Esoteric x-01 and, lovely though it is in many ways, I'd like to try and get some extra weight and body into the low and mid frequency ranges. I suspect this may require a heavy guage, possibly copper cord. What do other owners use and does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks

Could it be the placebo effect?It cost more so it must sound better.

I would agree that you most likely need to look at a different source (for example, my Wadia 861se modified by GNSC is exemplary with regard to what you are looking for).

I have the X03SE with a Shunyata Python Vx Alpha PC and am very happy. The PC made my background quieter, thus increasing dynamics. I'm a big power cable,interconnect, speaker cable believer, but I don't necessarilly think cables will give you more "weight", unless the cables you currently have are just so far from neutral, and, as previously mentioned, lean. Are you using balanced out or single ended? I think the SE are not as "meaty" as the balanced. You haven't mentioned any other of your components-that would help (it could just be too many things not giving you what you want-that is a GREAT CD player!). Could be speaker placement, room, preamp, speakers, amps-you name it. Alot of fun work to do.
