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.

If you decide to experiment with cables,research Triode Wire Labs. Their power cables are very effective (especially with digital) at taming aggressive high frequencies. Thirty day audition period to return if they don't work out for you.
Thick drapes and fine tuning the speaker positions as others have mentioned will help.
