Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs

In the past months I've been trying quite a few different power cords in my setup. A fellow Agoner that is very knowledgeable about power cords stated that power cords that support strong low end performance generally roll off the highs. More and more, that experience seems consistent with me too. I'd sure like to find a reasonably priced cord (closer to $500) that can support powerful low end performance and maintain extended highs. Do you have an opinion on this based on your experiences? We know this is all system dependent, but have you found a power cord that can perform both frequency extremes with no roll off?

Very funny story Dave! Jim, I may have to re-visit the Flavor 4. Joe, I can't bring myself to spend $1k(plus) on a power cord. Sherod, I don't know of anyone doing a Premier mod, and I'm not a diy-type audiophile. But the mod sounds like the ticket. Maybe Cullen will eventually put together a mod for the Premier. Thanks guys.

Foster_9,
Here is a link to the PS Audio Forum on AA. Maybe you can find some helpful threads from other Premier users:

Dave_b,

Have you tried the Transparent MM cord on anything other than Krell with as good results?

Yes, an ARC HD220, ARC Ref3 and an ARC VT100. I also used the previous XL version on Levinson reference gear with great results albeit a little less clear. The new cord has great clarity along with the Transparent wide dynamic range and tremendous frequency extension. Most startling is it's way with instrumental tone or timbre...absolutely lifelike at any volume level!!
