A friend bought a "home made" power cord marketed on Audiogon. The maker's philosophy is lots of copper, no shielding, and a low price. The sound was absolutely horrible. My buddy gave the power cord to me for free because he didn't feel right selling it to another Audiogon member. I gave it back to him. Yet the maker claims to have sold hundreds, if not thousands of these things.
Having tried to get something for nothing and failed, we've now both moved on to PS Audio Lab and Mini Lab cables and feel they are the true value in power cords. They work incredibly well, yet they are still priced within reason (relatively speaking, at least).
