Ugh. What I meant was you won’t find any UL-listed solid core power cords.
One Cord To Rule Them All
I'm seeking advice for a power cord to go from the wall outlet to my PSA P10 power regenerator. It needs to be 1.5M / 5 ft. and have the ability to pass 600 watts for many hours per day. My current PC is a Pangea AC-9, and my budget is about $200 to $300. The candidates I have so far are: Pangea AC-9 SE Mk ll, Audio Envy Ocean 3, or a PS Audio AC10 (used for about $300). Any thoughts? ... Thanks

koestner OP What about Anticables? I’m not trying to come up a rebuttal, but they’re in my price range, and also solid core I think.They are stranded, according to Anticables’ website. |
@OP - By all means, experiment to your heart's content. I'm all for trying things out. As you may have noticed, I am skeptical of power cord improvements, especially to a component that is itself designed to improve the power quality. Unfortunately, there seems to be no dearth of silly advice. One poster suggested a 7 or 9 gauge cable from the wall. That cable can't carry more current that whatever is in the wall, so using any larger gauge than your household Romex is like connecting a firehose to a garden hose. The firehose can't put out more than the garden hose can deliver to it. Someone else suggested hospital grade cable. The hospital grade refers to physical characteristics unrelated to the current such as resistance to flexing, strain relief, connector strength, impact resistance and so on. Nothing at all to do with current. In fact, most hospital grade cable is 16 or 18 gauge.
