Power cord choice?

Once again, sales pitches from commissioned people are influencing buying choices.

So it's a conspiracy, is that what you're claiming?

...  I have always enjoyed watching people continue wasting time, as I am now doing, striving to adjust their psyches to try to gain approval, both from others and from their view of themselves, as they strive for perfections ...

That's an odd hobby - even weirder than being an audiophile.

Each of us has different equipment and different power supplied to us.  Mine comes in underground in a large community.  Others live in electrically noisy condos.  Some systems are mid-fi where small changes aren't apparent to the sound.  Others are big bucks where everything you do is audible, good or bad.  No one here can really make this choice for you.  To choose for my low six figure system, I did a personal cable shootout.  With owned cables and and borrowed from many dealers and The Cable Company lending program (Recommended) I accumulated about a dozen PC's ranging in price from $500. to $5000. from all the major manufactures mentioned here.   Fortunately, price seemed to make little difference to the sound advantage.  I ended up with Shunyata from a dedicated wall outlet to a Denali 2 conditioner and Audioquest Hurricane and Tornado from there to the tube amps and dCS digital sources. Expensive, yes, but far from the most costly and appropriate to the rest of my system.  I can't say they are the right choices for you... just get well recommended cables ON LOAN and try them out.  I buy nothing that doesn't make a positive difference in the sound of my system.

This is very odd indeed. I cannot help but observe from your post that both groups are wasting time: 1) audiophiles in their pursuit for perfectness, and 2) you

I wonder who is really wasting more valuable time here, the audiophiles with their systems and enjoyments of music and good audio, or you, reading and writing about them 

I personally like the Pangea AC14SE and AC9SE which both use Cardas copper core. 
I’m sure this choice will be dismissed as not expensive enough, but, this forum is full of nonsensical unprovable opinions, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

A free flow of electrons for those last few feet is critical.
I recently replaced a good $600 pc with a better $500 one and the sound must have increased by 25%+.
