Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier

I have a new Accuphase P-4600 amplifier and am looking for a power cord to replace the stock. So far I’ve tried the Cullen Crossfire and the IceAge OFC Frankencable. While both cables have worked well on my source components they have not performed better than the stock on the amplifier. So to those who have Accuphase amplifiers what power cable has worked for you?
 

As I mentioned in other threads Accuphase strongly recommends that you use only the stock cord and so far that has been the best. The. other two have resulted in a darker sound with less soundscape openness. 
 

I’ve been trying to stay under $500 for the cord but would be willing to go a little higher if it improves the amps performance.

So observation is key and the more experienced and educated you are in it the greater will be your ability to observe and describe the effects on a system of different pieces of equipment.

Wait, are you trying to say in order to hear the differences I have to listen to my hifi? Oh, now you tell us! I was trying to hear the differences by looking at test numbers in a forum!

But right now my system sounds wonderful. I have no issues or inclination to spend more money. 

Well there is your answer. If you are enjoying things the way they are, and have no curiosity to discover if things could be better, then spend nothing, discover more music, and enjoy!
