The Furutech FI-11 set would perhaps be ideal for your needs based on your particular power cable selection. If you require a Schuko AC plug, choose a Furutech FI-E11(Cu) instead of a Furutech FI-11M(Cu). AC outlet and AC connector combos are often found to be complementary/synergistic through hands on (and ears perked) experimentation, and tend to gain a good reputation by word of mouth when a number of listeners agree on common findings. The popular Furutech FI-11M(Cu)/FI-11(Ag) AC connector combo blends the FI-11M(Cu)'s copper warmth and musicality with the FI-11(Ag)'s more neutral and analytical presentation. This is an example of the nature of synergy (do a search to find out why many folks like the pairing). The combo offers a rather balanced sound that avoids sins of commission in favor of more forgivable sins of omission, as a set of Oyaide AC connectors will tend to offer higher performance listening cues in comparison. Although an oversimplified Oyaide tip: If you desire a more streamlined, speedier sonic signature go with a set of palladium Oyaide 046's, if you desire a richer sounding tonal bloom from top-to-bottom go with a set of gold Oyaide 079's (do a search to find out why some folks choose one model over the other). Another option is to select both models and try swapping 046 & 079 terminated power cords between components to find satisfactory synergy. For example: an 079 terminated power cord for a preamp and an 046 terminated power cord for a CDP, or vise versa, etc.
