I beleive the Plinius Amp is considered to be quite good.
I dont think you can put a price tag on what works best for a given component.
How much you spend matters of course, but some cheap cables can make a big difference and some quite expensive cables can make a big difference or both can make a system suck.
To me, high current Amps need large gauge Power cords. But thats not all. The Voododo behind high price cords is quite a mystery to me.
But,some of those high priced cords can make a big improvemnt. Perhaps more than a new Amp change may cost. I dont try to understand The cord Voodoo . I just value it by the amount (if any) improvement it may make to my system.
Power cords will not wear out.(should not)
Another word of caution on price.
I played the price upgrade game and it ended up costing me more money than if I had just bought the better cord to begin with.
So, please dont limit yourself to a price point, try to borrow (even from the Cable Company ) or from other Audio nuts different Power cords , then decide.
Then seek out the best deal you can get.
One other hidden advantage. The better Power cords usually retain larger resale value.
So, the difference in cost (when or if) you sell them may be less than if you bought the cheap cord and had to keep them in a box under the stairs.
