tweak1, I just began using that cord with an upgraded/modified Parasound Zamp v3 amplifier and quite like it

Please "NO POLITICS"

Ali Express has some cables at pretty good prices. Granted you do not know what they are made of, even if they say OFC on them. They also sell some nice connectors. 

Best deals are used cables. Most are in like new condition.

I honestly wouldn't waste (any more) money on sub-$100 PC cables. I have many including ones from Maze, AQ, Iceage, Pangea and many unbranded Chinese made PCs. None offer anything more than the stock PCs. Pangea actually sounds worse due to sounding closed-in and muffled. I've relegated them to my LPS units powering media converters. I didn't start hearing a difference until I stepped up to OCC Copper or much more expensive AQ lines (ie Thunder). Spend ~$200 and buy a UP-OCC PC from a reputable company (not a fly-by-night fleabay or Amazon Chinese vendor claiming OCC is used in their cheap, phony cables). Otherwise just save your money and keep using your stock PCs. Moon Audio or Audio Sensibility are two reputable, high-value OCC cable makers that I've bought from. I'm sure there are others.
