Tuning my system towards a darker tone

I am trying to tune my system in a darker direction; as I have a bright ( lots of glass) listening area and have been directed by my interior designer ( aka wife) not to add room treatments.  Starting with power cords, then possibly ICs would like to find a natural sounding power cord but with a darker tone.  System includes: leben cs 600 amplifier, Linn Akurate Streamer DAC, Feikert Volare TT, Luxman CD player.  Current power cords include Luna, Audio Art and Raven.  Note: my speaker cables are not in play as they are within the walls and were picked to appease building codes in our area.  My price range for cord 500-1000.

Erik suggested WireWorld Eclipse interconnect/speaker cables.  These are good to help calm down things, but only if you get the "copper only" cables. 

In addition, get some basic level copper-only gold-plated Audioquest power cords.  The combination of their copper-only solid core conductors and gold-plated plugs will really help calm down the harshness and highs.  It will also smooth out the sound compared to stranded power cords.
