Next Up-grade, Power Cables?

Hello out there:

The system is really starting to come together! Recent up-grades have made dramatic improvements and now I am thinking about the final (I know, I know, there is no "final" to this addiction) touches.

After reviewing the threads here on A-Gon, I am considering either Analysis Plus Power Ovals or Virtual Dynamics III Cryo.

Has anyone here A-B'd them or have other suggestions?

The system so far: Mark Levinson #37 transport, Chord DAC64, Rega P-25 w/Dynavector 17D Karat, Herron Phono Stage, Mark Levinson 380S Pre, Edge M-8 Amp, Khorus X speakers, and Analysis Plus interconnects and speaker cable.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions, advice.

First, upgrade the power cords on your power amplifiers. Low-inductance is the key here. Try to get inductance 10X lower than the ROMEX in the walls. Also, the tightness and contact resistance of the power-outlet is important. I would recommend changing your outlet for the power amp (no conditioning) to an Acme Audio silver-plated version. My website has a table that compares romex, rubber cords and after-market cords for inductance. Big difference here.
