Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs

In the past months I've been trying quite a few different power cords in my setup. A fellow Agoner that is very knowledgeable about power cords stated that power cords that support strong low end performance generally roll off the highs. More and more, that experience seems consistent with me too. I'd sure like to find a reasonably priced cord (closer to $500) that can support powerful low end performance and maintain extended highs. Do you have an opinion on this based on your experiences? We know this is all system dependent, but have you found a power cord that can perform both frequency extremes with no roll off?

foster...the manufacturers poer cord may just be the balanced one. its funny how consumers think that no matter how good a product is, the cord thats made for it, must be a toss off.

The Purist Audio Dominus Ferrox has incredible bass and absolutely does not roll off the highs. Used 1 meter cords can be found for ~$700-$750.

Foster_9,

Curious, do the Flavor cords roll off the highs or the bass? What I hear you saying is that its an either or proposition with your current stable of cables. I am thinking of going this route and would like to hear your experience with these wires.

Also, have you contacted the Cable Company and asked their advice on possible cords to try? They were pretty responsive when I contacted them about PCs for digital front ends.

Knownothing, for me no, the Flavor 4 cords do not roll of the highs or the bass. I'd say the Flavor 4 does not emphasize either extreme. They have good bass and good highs as well.

I have consulted the Cable Company in the past.
