Flexable Power Cables for PS Audio Stellar PreAmp/Dac S300 amp

I was hoping for suggestions on power cords that aren't stupid expensive. I had the PS Audio Stellar DAC/Pe-amp and Stellar S300 amp. I currently running both of them with Pangea Audio AC 14SE MKII Signature Power Cable with Cardas Copper. I was thinking of going up in size to 10-12 gauge? I have the  Pangea Audio AC 9SE MkII Signature Power Cable with Cardas Copper going to my Onkyo Surround 11 output amp. That 9SE is the worse flexable cable ever made. I regret purchasing it. I had to build side cable wooden holder for it.  It maybe good, but really really really REALLY STIFF!! So I don't want that for my Stellar's. I like shielded because my units are in a 3 way side entertainment center. It is hard to keep everything separated. Anyone have suggestions under $175 each of shielded power cables that can actually bend?  Thanks Scott

The wireworld side by side design is very flexible cable, well shielded and a good value. 

Stereo5 - Pangea power cables sucked the life out of your system? Seems like a pretty extreme result from a power cable.

Stereo5, eh, I don’t know. I’m not familiar with the Pangeas but they seem well constructed. it’s just hard to believe a strip of power cord could have a profound (i.e. less than subtle) effect on sound in most systems. I use Shunyata as well, but i hate to see a moderately priced product dismissed when the op is mentioning price as an important consideration. It is possible that power cords are more critical in a high watt config.  
Anyway, If they aren’t good you did the op a favor. Just me trying to apply logic to a hobby when i should know better by now :)
