One Cord To Rule Them All

I'm seeking advice for a power cord to go from the wall outlet to my PSA P10 power regenerator. It needs to be 1.5M / 5 ft. and have the ability to pass 600 watts for many hours per day. My current PC is a Pangea AC-9, and my budget is about $200 to $300. The candidates I have so far are: Pangea AC-9 SE Mk ll, Audio Envy Ocean 3, or a PS Audio AC10 (used for about $300). Any thoughts? ... Thanks

What's puzzling is the OP has a Power Plant P10-the top model along with a more than adequate aftermarket cable. 

Looks to me a case of reading too many audio forums/articles.

What gives you the impression the P10 needs a "better" pc than the already better than stock pc?

Power cords don't "pass" wattage. 

Just my experience-I plugged a $25K+ Nordost Odin II into my PP which normally is a Heimdall II. No angels singing/rainbows. The PP just did what it  normally does. I also did Nordost Blue Heaven vs Heimdall vs Pangea AC13Se=no noticeable difference.

"Watts are Voltage x Current and about 600 watts are passing through the power cord while my system is running."

Huh? The only thing passing thru the power cable is current. Wattage or voltage  do not "flow." That's something pounded in your head in electronics 101.

"Thanks to all, except that guy who kept "schooling" me about the watts. :-)"

koestner-

just passing along actual hard fact. I’d like to think everyone here wants to acquire knowledge and maybe pass some.This thread caught my attention since I believe in both the PP and some cable tweakery.

The disappointing thing is no one else came in for the assist to back up the basic electronics 101 facts. That’s more concerning.

Once again, wattage is the product of current and voltage at a load, that’s it. It doesn’t "flow" anywhere. Voltage doesn’t flow either.
