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?

Funny, I just read your "foaming at the mouth", or was it drooling, over the DCCA Master PC....it appears we all have our favorites and our biases. MIT rules..Hee Hee Hee:)

Funny yes, every review you have posted is "foaming at the mouth", or is it drooling? So what's it all mean??? At least I'm not pimping the DCCA the way you pimp the MIT/Transparent.

Jmcgrogan2, maybe your web senses are a little dull, but I was having some fun while reminding everyone of the obvious likes and dislikes we all have and are inevitably slaves to. For God's sake man, you had a color picture of the DCCA cable! I'm not a pimp, but I am passionate about what I have found to be the best of class in audio...of that, I stand convicted.

Dave_b,
I'm happy that you found the "Magical" power cord for your equipment. However, as good as the Transparent might be on your Krell, it might not be the "cat's meow" on another brand or type of amp. Thanks for your enthusiasm. I feel the same about my Fusion Impulse power cord on my AH preamp. Oh, if only I could afford to try out all the power cords available to us...

I believe I have tried them all...and with alot of different gear, but there may be a mismatch out there somewhere:)

Wow, I must say this thread is taking some sharp twists and turns. Musicfile, I have already tried DCCA cords, and they are very good cords. Audphile, I've had 2 Audience cords in the past. I wouldn't mind trying the Transparent MM but that cord costs more than I'd spend retail. Maybe when it starts to show up here.
