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.

Maybe I will continue my search for a power cord for my Accuphase P4600 some day. But right now it sounds wonderful. Any upgraded cords in the $500-1000  range including a Furutech have reduced soundstage transparency, slightly darkened the sound and moved the image closer especially the mids. Only benefit was a little more bass.

I would not get discouraged to try power cords within your budget. One of the blind buy off off eBay, turned out to be such a pleasant surprise. I picked up OYAIDE VONDITA-X 1.8m power cord for under $600. I am still breaking-in this cord on SACD player, with only 72 hours of running…I am loving what I’m hearing.
