I compared this to a combination of a Nordost Frey 2 power with the Nordost QBase 4 MK1. The latter made an astonishing improvement in dynamic range and the 3D nature of the sound. I also use Shunyata Sigma XLR interconnects.

I think that systems are different and there may not be a perfect solution, but I was quite stunned to find that AC power cords could make such a substantial improvement in sound quality.

Cheers Gerry.

Yes it has been my experience over many years that AC power cables make a very significant difference. I am currently using an Echole Limited Edition AC power cable on my K1 and the sound is excellent.
