Integrated Owners: I Need an Excellent Power Cord

I have recently gone through some serious power cord trials for one of my other components. Had quite a few power cords in house for auditions and also purchased some. Tried these cords on my Integrated too. (Blue Circle) It seems to me that a power cord for an integrated must address the needs of both the preamplifier and also the amplifier. It's not like buying a power cord for an amplifier and a power cord for a preamplifier. I'm looking for an excellent cord under $1000 used that works well with Integrateds. (top and bottom extension, detailed, refined, dynamic) Looking for something you use or have tried. I already have or had in house: DCCA Reference Master, DCCA Musical Essence 2, Purist Audio Dominus Ferrox C, VH Audio Flavor 4, Synergistic Research Tesla T3, Lessloss, Wergyzn Copper Slam, Audience Powerchord, PS Audio Statement SC, MAC Soundpipe HC. I've been considering Virtual Dynamics, and Fusion Audio but look to add more to the short list. Thanks

Thanks Jwpstayman, you make a good point. I have a Blue Circle BMPH Integrated.

Thanks to the other posters. (Power cords under $1,000 Used)

Paul, thanks. Liudas (Louis) emailed me about it months ago and said it would retail for around $3,000. AC conditioners (filters) as Liudas calls them, are such a hit and miss proposition in every system. No guarantees with any of them. It's too much for me to spend. Maybe later when some hit the used market I might be interested.

I stuck with the inexpensive iron lung jellyfish for use on my Yamaha AS 2000.  I have had the iron lung in my collection of power cords for probably 5 years and after trying all my pc's on the integrated it worked out.  I have other power cords like the VH Audio Airsine that have been outperformed by it.
