Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords

In my experience, the connection end (plugs) are the most important part of the power cord...the wire itself is not that influential.  Use top of the line Oyeida, or Furutech plugs and smile.

Absolutely, for the power cords that I intend to keep for life, I have upgraded the plugs, mostly to Furutech FI-28, some to FI-50 (r). Apart from that , I have some DIY power cords based on Acrolink with great plugs.
