DIY Power Cables Instead of Used

Good Day All,
     I'm hoping to gain from the benefit of your experiences comparing power cables, or your knowledge from extensive reading.  I'm leaning heavily toward DIY at this point, but am always open to overachieving reasonably priced new from authorized U.S. distribution or European channels.  Though I was originally very big on shopping mid to high end pre-owned power cables, I am no longer entertaining the used market for this purchase.
     I ask that you please share what your observations of a brand/model are, rather than just throw a brand name out and say you recommend it.  Any help you could provide is greatly appreciated.  I'm seeking to upgrade the power chords on all of my components and am already working on installing direct circuits from the service panel, with audio grade receptacles.
     Thanks ...

Thank you all...  I am unfortunately, for the first time ever, turned away from  the preowned market, with this particular component, as the China connection of fraudulent new hi end power cables has dooped so many audiophiles, those counterfeits have now infiltrated the used market....many from us that do not realize they our expensive cables are fraud, and we think they just suck for the money ounterfeit, and unfortunately, some that do realize they bought a counterfeit, but sell it used anyway.  PS Audio SC Line and Perfect Wave lines are a prime example.

Hmmm ... Elizabeth...great point, and thank you. I realize there are reviews to be read and lots of them. I was actually knee deep in them and relogated to buy PS Audio stuff used, when I bumped into the used cable issue that is looming and growing.... so bad it is, that Paul McGowan himself is on the net addressing the problem....replacing fraudulent cables for dooped consumers, and suing counterfeiters internationally... but the problem I found extends way beyond just his brand. With that, I have so much time vested in that research which was concluded, that starting over is frustrating, if not a major headache, even.
... this being why I’m thinking about the jump to DIY and hoping for brand recommendations here, to shortcut me in the right direction to read on further.
