Best Aftermarket cables for Marantz SA8001?

Hello,
I am in the process of purchasing a used mint Marantz SA8001 CD/SACD player.
I was just wondering if the Marantz SA8001 CD/SACD player responds well to aftermarket power cords under about $150.00, and interconnects under about $230.00?
If so, which interconnects have the best synergy with the 8001, and bring out its full potential?
I am currently stuck between a 1/2 meter Audioquest King Cobra, DH Labs, Kimber Cable Silver Streak, LAT International, and Signal Cable Silver Resolution Reference.
Would you recommend one of these, or have you had better results with some other interconnect with your 8001?
What power cord would you recommend to bring put the full potential of the 8001, and offer the biggest sonic improvement over the stock power cord, if any?
Thanks for your help and recommendations!

I think the AQ interconnects are a great match for the Marantz Cd players. The King Cobra or Jaguar should do the trick. I use AQ XLR Panthers on my Marantz SA-11 with great
results.
I've found the Nordost Shiva power cord to be a good match
also.The Shiva really opened up the sound,without being harsh or dry.

Enjoy!
