What power cord for BAT VK-300x SE integrated?

I am looking for power cord recommendations for my BAT VK-300x SE integrated amp. I currently use a MAC HC power cord, but would like to experiment with something else. Maybe a Black Sand Violet or Silver ref? I would like to get a little more treble extension and air out of the BAT. The rest of my system is an Esoteric SA-10 CD/SACD player, System Audio SA2K monitor speakers, MAC Ultra Silver balanced IC's, and Spetz Anti-cable speaker cables. Any thoughts/recommendations?

Hi, it was the SE version. And I used it on my Finite Pagode Master Ref rack with Cerapuc feet...

My bias is that ICs from source to integrated will influence the "sound" more than any other cable. I own KCI (koolcables)Firefly balanced silver ICs and they very have nice treble. Very reasonable cost for the quality and service. I also have the Silkworms balanced which, to me, have as optimal a combination of accuracy/balance, transparency and top-to-bottom extension but are more expensive.

Just my 2 cents.

Consider a Cardas Golden Ref. I had one on my VK200 with very good results. I was surprised to be honest. I also had decent luck with Shunyata.

You may want to try Grant Fidelity PC-1.5 Power cords, they are cheap, $150.00 but they realy do a fine job, you do get more than your money's worth, quite a bargain.
