Power cord suggestions for CDP and tube amp

I really don't have any complaints about the way my system sounds now with stock cords. I've read a lot about how the "right" power cord can improve the sound of a system so I want to try some different cords to see if I can hear a - hopefully positive - difference.

A warm, smooth, fast & lively system sounds like what I want. :-) Are these really contradictory audio terms, or is such a system impossible to configure? Serious question - I have a lot to learn.

Holly,

Hi, I sugust you give AudioMagic X-Stream power cords.

Power Cord:
-- 6 ft. length only.
-- 12 ga. double-coated silver-over-copper conductors.
-- Teflon dielectrics.
-- Mylar dampening.
-- Heavy-duty molded ends.
-- Triple shielded.

I paid $100.00 for each of mine and am quite happy.

FYI, I emailed Don of DCCA last week; I'm still waiting for a response. :-(

I emailed Virtual Dynamics Tuesday and received a response yesterday. They no longer sell the Nite 2 cable, as I suspected, but say that the Nite 3s are an improvement over the Nite 2s all across the board. They are (currently) just slightly above my price range, but I may try a Nite 3 anyway. I have yet to find any used Nite 2s for sale.

Received my Black Sand cables yesterday and will be getting my VH Audio Flavor 4 cable on Friday. I am still going to buy one or two more power cables - guess I'm on a roll and really want to find out if I can detect a difference between PCs in my system/s. So far I have heard no remarkable change using a Black Sand violet on my Consonance Droplet, but this is after only a couple of CDs - way too soon to make a decision. I will be able to A/B the Black Sand and the Flavor 4 this weekend, if I don't spend too much time at RMAF! :-D

Holly,

If you're going to RMAF make sure to stop by the Virtual Dynamics room. I'll be there at the show and plan to visit them. Hopefully they will be offering the same deal as they did at HET in LA where if you made a purchase that weekend, there was a 50% discount. Also, they had a table of used and demo cables.
