Neutral to Lean Power Cord for tube preamp

I recently added a deHavilland UltraVerve preamp to my system. It is quite powerful and dynamic, but has a little too much bass emphasis through my Von Schweikert speakers, driven by a McCormack DNA-1. All cables are silver, using a VooDoo power cord now on the preamp. Everything plugs into a PS Audio Quintet on a dedicated line. Looking for a very neutral, or slightly lean more detailed power cord, price range is up to $400 used. I am still tube rolling, so bass may get tamed a bit more yet.

I own an ultraverve and would suggest the VH Audio Flavor 2 for a good synergistic power cord. I have tried lot of cords with the Ultraverve and keep coming back to the Flavor 2. Also be aware that lots of gold ended cords can cause too much warmth in the bass in your system. So be sure to check your other cables and if they are all gold try brass.

Also the other suggestions about resonance control should be investigated as well. Good luck.
