Hi again, it took a bit longer than expected to have time to write. First thing I must say, I can't tell you what is good power cord and how does it sound in your system. I write only what I have heard in my system (D1000 Pro, JBL 4345 modified, computer with Foobar & Tidal, room is build fully for listening music).
I would live happily with standard power cords if I didn't test other cords. So basic cords are ok. I have tested a lot of cables in last 10 years, mostly without significant sound effect, some times huge effect. With Devialet Pro I have tested seriously only standard cables, Graditech Voima 1 and Voima 2. I write only about Voima 1 and Voima 2 due those cables I know well, others not so well so better to say nothing about those. With "old" expert I did test some other cables also but those tests are not comparable to Pro. Pro is different amp and for that suits different cables.
I have been in direct contact to Graditech's owner/product developer and had hours of talk about cables. He is quite honest and direct man who knows what he is doing. He doesn't sell you an expensive cable if he doesn't see that you can benefit from the cable. He is also willing to give cables into test and he made me RCA-XLR digital cable only for testing purpose (actually I bought that also).
Voima 1:
Good overall balance, this cable gives weight to music, maybe a bit tube like sound, easy to listen.
Voima 2:
More stiff, fast, detailed, extended, better resolution compared to Voima 1. When I connected Voima 2 first time after listening Voima 1 my jaw dropped. How big difference can power cable make! I didn't expect this difference because I had tested this cable with old Exper 250 and with that amp the difference was not that big and actually I did like Voima 1 better.
I suggest to test both cables if you are interested. Like said in the beginning, you need to listen your self what is good for you and your system.
