If you can diy, then Furutech 14awg S022N. Price for 1m with plugs would be around 110$.Perfect for sources and integrated amps of reasonable current draw.

I never had this cable but I have a bigger model, FP-S55N paired with Furutech NCF 48 gold, and sounds too "HI-FI" to me. That’s why I preffer TCS762 / TCS31 instead

@petg60 Can you tell what are you using as connectors for SO22N ?

+1 Audience Forte - a few very positive reviews

@soix - Cullen cable - fantastic referral

Like many have alluded to, I’m not confident that the $100 budget is high enough to get you a satisfactory sonic uptick improvement. One can easily expect a sonic improvement over stock power cables if the budget was up to $1k, $100 budget not so sure.

This thread popped up again.  I just reterminated a batch of chinese cables this weekend.  While they often use surplus cable from good manufacturers (this cable was marked Cardas) the workmanship needs to be checked.  Here are pics of one of the worst ones but I only found a couple that I would have been happy with as found.  If you do rework the terminations, then these cables are a great buy and will get you most of the way there.  they certainly are large enough (10-12 awg) that current will not be limited.  I included an after pic.
