Which of these power cords ?

I'm looking to upgrade my sound with upgraded power cords. Given I've got a tube preamp, 2 mono block tube amps, Aurender DAC and 2 Martin Logan speakers - we're talking up to 7 power cords so I'd like to keep the total cost for all of them to $1000ish. 

And some suggest going with one brand, to get the biggest benefit.

Brands on short list include:

I've tried about 30 different brands. All I can say is try some. Best bet is try the Shunyata Venom first. Many members here got good results. Consult with long time dealers, Tweekgeek, and the Cable Company.

rcfun33 and Chinook9: Electricity runs in a circuit through each transformer. So the current produced by a power plant never gets out of their yard! It just circulates through the stators and the primary of the first step up transformer. The magnetic field produced moves electrons in the secondary part of the transformer. Out it goes to the next primary.

Miles away, at your house, it (electricity) circulates through the secondary winding in the pole transformer( or on ground transformer), through each of your audio components and appliances.

So there's not a big cord miles long from the power plant to your house. Even if there was, the power cord would still make a difference in sound !
So please don't claim "physics".

FYI: There is also specialty in wall cable for A/V systems and breaker panels. These are far more involving than just trying a cord.
