PS Audio AC-5 question


I recently bought PS Audio AC-5 power cord for my Parasound HCA-1205A amp. My pre is Anthem AVM-20 with Shunyata Diamondback power cord. My speakers are Paradigm Studio 60 v.3. When I changed the power cord of the amp from stock cable, I found that the overall sound is more forward than I would like. Also the top end has opened up, but I feel it to be a bit harsh - to the face. Not sure what is the issue. Is the PS Audio AC-5 a worng choice to Parasound amp?.

If your budget allows and If it where me, I would get another AC-5, works better in tandum ,in fact I'm going to sell my Statement SC in favor of an AC-5 or AC-12 if my budget allows (lol).
Thanks jdub, Iam holding off buying other cables. Iam nor looking for AC-10 for the amp and will move AC-5 to the preamp.
TYPO - Iam holding off buying other cables. Iam now looking for AC-10 for the amp and will move AC-5 to the preamp
I have got a real good deal on AC-10 on craiglist here. Is there any way I can check if the cord is not fake???.
