Power Cord suggestions

See below for the system. I would like to upgrade my power cable on my cd player and am not sure where to start. I am not too sensitive to price, but nothing insane - I understand that is a matter or degree in this hobby :) Thanks.

Cary Audio 303/300
CAT SL-1
VTL 450's
Martin Logan Sequel II's

IC is Purist Audio Venustas
Speaker Cable is Cardas Golden Ref
PC on VTL's is Nite II
PC on ML Sequels is Cardas Golden Reference
PC on the Cary is 14 year old Cardas Golden

The VTL's are in the wall through a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet
The rest of the system is plugged into a PS Audio P600.

Hifijunkie Iam in agreement with you, they are just too
good (DCCA cables), Don is also a very nice guy to deal with.

Thanks for these responses. To be honest, I don't necessarily feel anything is missing. I just see from my past experience that changing cables, including power cords, created dramatic improvements (e.g., putting Nite II on my amps, using Venustas, etc.), so I am curious about a new PC on my source. I have called Cable Co. and am working with them.

How good would a DCCA power cord be feeding a Hydra from the wall- i.e. is it a high-current-carrying cable, Or more for line level and digital applications? Where have you tried it in your system?

Well the two best p/c's that I've heard in my system are the Virtual Dynamics Revelation and the Purist Audio Designs Dominus.
The Dominus offers a bit more midrange palpability, while the Revelation offer a bit more dynamic's.
