Power cords for Coincident Frankenstein and AMR DP-777 <100$

Hey guys,

I am thinking of venturing down the world of power cords. Does anyone have actual experience with PCs for Coincident Frankenstein (or the AMR DAC) that are in my price range (<100$). I know the best would be Coincident PCs but I don’t want to spend that much with experimenting with PCs just yet. Also at this moment returns, using the cable company, and try and resell are not an option.

Thanks

Essrand,
I appreciate that  we all have our individual budget limits, I'd offer this advice. Wait and save more money and buy high quality cords on the used market. Your Frankensteins are high resolution and transparent amplifiers.  You'll easily hear the benefits of the higher  quality power cords. A 100 dollar power cord could be a relatively good value choice but may not extract all the performance your amplifier has to give.

What charles1dad said, with extreme prejudice. Save up and get the best you can and try not to go any smaller than 10 gauge. 

All the best,

In principle I agree with you guys. Sadly expensive power cords will have to wait their turn. 

The current queue for my system is:

Preamp (Duh! looking for used Shindo)
better 300b tubes (right now I have Shuguang black treasure)


I got excited about power cords and jumped the gun after reading this post: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/changed-the-power-cord-to-signalcable-magic-power-cord-on-my-...

This guy got an improvement with 69$ PCs which bettered his speaker upgrade!!!
