The old-school, hardware store sourced Pass & Seymour 5266-X AC plug presents a big bottom end, with subdued treble if that's what you want. It's not Audio Grade, and IME it's only interesting application is for use with the DIY Asylum Power Cord project, in which the 5266-X behaves not unlike a tone control for a medium gauge 14 AWG Belden 19364 power cord that otherwise presents lackluster bass performance, IMO.

Hi Bob, Something about performing radical surgery on connectors is not an attractive idea to me :-) Since changing out a set of more prodigious bass presenting speaker cables for those with subjectively greater speed, I have found the Pass & Seymour 5266-X to be rather weak in the bottom end. I'll try it on a DIY JPS Labs cable power cord that has too much bloom in that department, though.
Thanks Duster-san. That's interesting. Might try that plug. Would it be correct to assume that the PS bass is bigger, deeper , more prominant than the Furu 11 plug?? Tweaker
The bass is definitely bigger, but I can't say whether or not the bass seems deeper than the Furutech FI-11M(Cu), since the Furutech presents a more natural sounding sonic signature, IME. Like I said, the bass is more pronounced, while the top end is more reserved than a Furutech FI-11M(Cu), and more so than any AC plug I've experienced, for that matter.
