Best Male & IEC plug for high current power cords?


What are the the best, most cost-effective MALE and IEC plugs for use in high current power cords, with tubes and with SS power amps? Detail, dynamics, balance and BLACK background! No hash or sibilance! ... Copper? Gold? Rhodium? Silver? ... Furutech? Oyaide? Wattgate? ... And the wires, shielded or unshielded?

I have found unshielded pc sound better with tube amps.
Copper power wall plugs have more realistic bite than silver.
Silver power wall plugs sound more organic on voices.
I made some unshielded power cables with copper wall plugs and silver iec - but they are not optimum for my digital equipment. AND, I am not convinced they are optimum for another tubeamp. It is quite frustrating to figure out what to use. I also have a sense that wattgate may sound a little bit better than furutech on both copper and silver.
Check out "power cable shootout" and good luck.
