It's hard for me to compare power cords, because I've just started improving those, and I lack the experience I have comparing speaker cables or interconnects. What's more, a power cable is likely to be used in many very different places in the same system, with various results, which is of course not the case with speaker cable or digital cable, and it makes the referent less stable.

Let's just say that I upgraded the power strip first, then I bought a couple cables from Ebay (furutecjh cable, Viborg plugs) and AliExpress (fake-branded Accuphase cables) and there was every time some improvement, but nothing that almost made my jaw fall. But when I first plugged this cable in, I had a "wow" moment, I couldn't believe my ears. The impact seemed much stronger. Now, I haven't tried it in any other position, I just left it where I first plugged it, in the linear PSU feeding the high-pass T-amp. All I can say is: it sounds great. Now I cannot foresee how it will sound in someone else's system, but I would say that for such a low price, it's worth taking the risk.
