You have some good advice here (especially from bartc) that is consistent with my experience, having once been in your situation. The answer(s) to your question would depend upon what the power cord would be connected to - power amp. or source being a major distinction. The VH Flavor 4 is quite stiff you should note. It works well with SS amps. as I used it. The Shunyata Venom 3 (at $99) is a great product worthy of consideration on several counts: one of the most highly praised (by reviews), affordable (based upon value) and actually has resale value (when you desire to move up or on). In the past I had made many DIY power cords as well, some quite expensive, but always with mixed results. I have always liked the results of any of the Shunyata power cords. I stopped looking, and listening to other brands some time ago. Somewhat surprisingly, my experience has taught me that greater gains in "better music" are to be had by upgrades from power cords (especially less expensive ones)vs. ICs or speaker cables. My experience, yes, but I am not alone. Good hunting. Bob
