What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam?

My price limit is around $1K new or used. The new pc would be plugged into a dedicated line(12-gauge Romex)using an Oyaide DX/WPC-Z wallplate. My amp is a Valve Audio Predator/Mullard CV-2493-Northstar Sapphire CDP and Focus Audio FS8 speakers. Cables are JPS Labs-Superconductor Q/Plus. I would be replacing an Opera Audio Ella Baby pc on the Predator. Want to improve clarity in complex passages, add bass slam/definition and create a more open/liquid presentation without giving up speed-resolution and neutrality which are my systems strengths. After many hours of research here is a list of power cords that could work.
Cable Research Labs-MK 2
DH Labs-Red Wave
JPS Labs-Kaptovator
Silver Circle Audio-Vesuvius
Stealth Audio-Cloude 99
VooDoo Cables-Black Diamond Dragon
Your comments regarding these power cords would be appreciated along with any other suggestions. Look forward to your responses!

Any PAD cable but as you go up the line the bass gets deeper and more controlled (as does just about everything else).

The difference between PAD and MIT is too big. The PAD go deeper. Instruments and voices keep the small proportion as in real with PAD. MIT make the instruments and voices too big in dimension. This is a very important part in the world of highend. PAD can open the mid freq. like no other brand can do.

@ Bo1972, whatever!, I know your last post is YOUR opinion, I know for fact Taralabs has a better performing mid-band than any P.A.D. cable.
