Volex...

The Volex cords are basically Belden cables with molded ends. Belden used to market them under their name and then stopped for some reason. Supposedly a very good basic cord, especially for the money. Many folks start off with these and then simply upgrade the connectors on them to something a little sturdier. You can find out more info about them if you do a search in the Cable Asylum. Sean

I think you can get them from Allied Electronics for a reasonable price and you don't have to buy 15 of them. They do have a $25 minimum. though. They are well made and well shielded. My experience with them is that they will do no harm and will subtly improve the sound. I do not have much experience with power cords but I have been very satisfied with the Volex.
