Power Cord up to $100?


I have mono block amplifiers and was wondering if there's a power cord that's better than a stock cord for up to $100 each?

I'm surprised My Audio Cables (MAC) or Cullen Cable haven't made your list yet. Both make very nice cables that won't break your wallet.

Also what monoblock amplifiers do you have? To Schipo's point what do you feel is lacking from your stock cords?
Ghosthouse is right. I have some 2 meter Pangea AC9 power cords that I got at a good price that I'm using in tight spaces for my power conditioners. It was really like wrestling anacondas and in some cases I had to situate the cables so that they wouldn't partially slip out of the PS Audio Decora PowerPort plugs I have. I propped one up with parts of a 2x4. These cables are no joke.
The Volex 17604 power cords that are available now are NOT the same as the ones from years ago that offered great performance for the budget audiophile. I can't find the threads but the newer Volex 17604 power cords are now Baohing labeled power cords. An old tech gave me a Volex 17604 from the early 2000s late 1990s and I compared it to the Volex 17604 that I got from Newark in 2010 and there are differences. From the connectors on each end to the labeling on the wires there are differences. I have yet to cut and strip both cords to see the difference with the copper though.
