I currently have a cryo'd Chris VH Flavor 2 w/ Furutech connectors on my Audio Refinement Complete integrated and it sounds very open,neutral, transparent,good extension and dynamic.A 5 ft version of same ready-made will cost you about $175.00.Much less un-cryo'd and with cheaper connectors. I previously had a Shunyata Sidewinder Gold on the ARC and in comparison, the Sidewinder was colored with less extension, especially the highs.It also was a smidge grainier-sounding. The Sidewinder is a very nice cord though.
