Budget High Current Power Cords

For me the wire gauge is less important than the materials the cable is made from and that goes double for the connections. Audio Envy makes good flexible cables with quality materials for good prices.

Miller's right.  An ordinary power wire will pass all the current required.

My Krells can draw nearly 2kW from the wall.  Each.
The wires supplied by Krell are fine.  Besides the amps have huge power storage so there is plenty available all the time.

Somebody tell me what is wrong with these…

I made my own with Furutec connectors and bulk cable. The other items like shrink wrap and cable covering came from Amazon. I was able to make custom lengths between my power conditioner and each unit. It was a fun project. I estimated that each cable cost about $150. FWIW. 

@sns RE:...

@williewonka I assume you still prefer your Helix to the Zavfino?

I rely on feedback from other members that have tried and compared the HELIX DIY to other cable brands and to date the Helix DIY seems to be standing up very well against the branded products they have been compared too

So until I hear otherwise the Helix DIY are still my go-to cables

However, I do keep my eyes open for those brands that get rave reviews from Agon members AND which employ interesting cable fabrication methods, cable geometries and approaches.

The Zevfino line was recently highlighted by a member - I then looked at the web site and Zevfino provide in-depth details of their construction approach.

1. they use UP-OCC copper, which would make their cables very dynamic
2. they use a tight perfect pitch twist to construct the conductors, which should result is a lower noise floor
3. they use Cotton filler insulation which should also help reduce noise
   

Basically - Zavfino have put a lot more design effort into their fabrication techniques than most other brands AND they seem reasonably priced for such a complex build.

Many members are not into DIY cables for many reasons, So I try to provide some feedback as to what brands are available in the marketplace that I feel might provide a noticeable improvement based on their details design.

Right now, for branded products, I tend to recommend...

1. Nordost - because I have heard the improvements they provide
2. In-Akustik - because they have one of the most advance and effective cable geometries I have seen
3. Zavfino - because they have combined great quality design, excellent copper, interesting geometry and competitive pricing

This list also reflects what I believe their level of performance that the three brands will provide and their cost.

• So if you want a more budget oriented cable. the Zevfino will offer a very good performing cable for a more modest price.
• Step up to the In-Akustik for lower noise floor with improved details
• and if you want the best performance, then a TOTL Nordost should provide that

Apologies for such a complex answer to a seemingly simple question.

But then, NOTHING about this hobby is simple :-)
