Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino?

I just upgraded to an Audioquest NRG-4 for my amp, which already has made a bit of a difference, however, I am getting a new Audioquest Power bar/conditioner, and wanna connect the entire thing to the wall (will be wired nicely later).

I was told to get the best cable I can get from the power strip to the wall... hence looking for a mid-range power cord, say between $300-400 and not too bulky with some flexiblity... what do you guys recommend? Audioquest Monsoon? Nordost Blue Haven? Furutech, Shunyata in that price range... or Zavfino which is the only one making OCC cable in that price range! Even if a bit higher it's ok, as there are always specials here or there.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

You don't need to spend more than $50... check this out. It's a 16mm (10 awg) Hi-End Rhodium plated 4N OFC 99.997% pure power cable. I don't think anyone (even Mozart) can tell any difference between this $50 power cable and some stupidly expensive (treated with snake oil) AQ or SR power cable.

It's likely that a Ping cousin will be along shortly telling you about an expensive to buy (but cheap to make) SY industrial cable from his favourite audiophile company.  But moving along, I've found that DH Labs PowerPlus is good value for money.  You can buy it by the metre in some places and then use your own choice of connectors - if you understand how to connect power cables or have an electrician friend.

Check out Silnote. I have three of his power cords and they are excellent.

Mark Tunis makes very high quality cables for much less than those commercially available.  He often has something listed on Audiogon,
but can be found direct at 770 212 0865.  He has made me power cables, interconnects and speaker wires and I am very pleased.  It is worth a call...
