Still Looking for Amplifier Power cord

Do you have power cord suggestions for a powerful switching amp:
Have a Cary Class D, switching amp 600 watts @8 ohms 1110 watts @4 ohms

Mirage OMD28 speakers:
Frequency Response 25 Hz-20 kHz (+/- 3dB)
Recommended Amplifier Power 50-300 Watts
Impedance 6 Ohms nominal / 3.5 Ohms minimum
Room Efficiency 87 dB

Looking for power cord suggestions for a Class D amp doing duty with Mirage OMD28 which can do 18hz useable bass.

Already tried:
Flavor 4/ Airsine
Pangea AC9
Acrolink/Oyaide

On the cheap, also wondering if anyone tried the inexpensive Wyred4 Sound PC's?

Thanks all.

The Mirage speakers are more than capable of depth, transparency and deep bass. Looking for a more suitable power cord for the amplifier than what I've tried.

I second Triode Wire Labs. Thirty day audition period.

Emerson,

I really recommend that you try the CH Acoustic X-10 that I linked to above.

I use the whole CH Acoustic X-20 loom myself, and I have a Class D Spectron Musician III Mk2 amp.

The discontinued X-15 power cord is also known as the Running Springs HZ Crown Jewel, the top power cord for their power conditioners.

The CH Acoustic power cords have less sound of their own than any cable I've tried. They just lower the noise floor and you'll hear much, much more of what your Cary can do for your Mirage speakers.

I would contact Frank Latimer @ tgaudio.com... If you are looking to goose the bass a bit, check out the 688. If not, looking for a more 3d image and soundstage from your omni's (like my Ohms) check out the SLVR. Great hall info (mostly located in the deep bass imho), layering, focus, palpability... The SLVR has great bass to, great impact! I just find the 688 better for audio pieces with less substantial power supplies like smaller preamps and digital.

Krell_man thanks, and everyone else too. The X-10 is rich for my blood and power cord mindset these days. Although I've spent that much in the past. The visibility, demand in the used market, and name recognition are issues affecting re-saleability too.

I'm more inclined to try less expensive cords with a 30 day money back like the Triode Labs, or maybe even a W4S PC since they make Class D amps.
