Budget High Current Power Cords

I like my cords best. They are whatever came with my pieces. As good as any. 

Look into the used market. Huge bang for the buck. 

Just be weary of power cords that are made too cheaply. They use plastic parts that break easily.

HMM: 
@millercarbon that is just a stupid post dude.
Just ignorant.

Budget high current, why not take 2 or 3 freebie power cords, cut the ends and solder em all into one? Wouldn't that be three times the current? With four or 5 you could get lots of current. How much current are we talking anyway

I don't think that's stupid at all.  Isn't that what hi end braided cables are doing, taking individual strands and combining them to present a heavier gauge wire? I'm really curious why would this be stupid at all?  It wouldn't work, it would create a black hole why?

Have you read the reviews of the RCA MFF adapters that combine two separate RCA into one to reduce resistance?  They actually get pretty positive feedback.

I keep looking at the old 240V dryer power chord that they replaced when the old dryer failed.  Heavy gauge wire and 4 strands.  Since I'm a believer that the common neutral causes noise in the system for the price of connectors it would be a very robust high current Power Cable combining the four strands into two and I believe that both multiple standard or 240V cable would improve the sound over the stock molded cables that come with unit. 

The whole debate about AC power cords is ridiculous. Same with speaker wire. It’s ridiculous. If it can carry enough power to the device, it is adequate, and using a more expensive cable isn’t going to make a damn bit of difference. Sorry, but all of you are just bullshiting yourselves. There been many blind test done, and nobody can tell the difference, and I’m sure none of you are any different. Perception is reality. By the way, I can afford any cable for any component that’s available. So it’s not a case of Envy with me, it’s just a case of understanding how electronics and electricity works . It’s for that reason that well-regarded companies like McIntosh don’t really believe in expensive cables. They sell them because they can make money on them but if you talk to the people in charge there, they too think it’s a farce.

I wonder WHO this is? Some folks are a little thick.. I guess he makes it up as he/she goes. 

"Mcintosh don't really believe". LOL was that a direct quote from Jethro?

I've never heard a Mac repairman or salesman say that.. EVER.. They recommend GOOD cabling, plain and simple...

50 years ago they did some silly test with regards to "current" speaker cable production vs what was available at the time.. There was nothing ELSE to compare it with.. SO lamp AC cable was just as good as Speaker cable... NOT so now.. Thing have changes.. A LOT..

The problem 50 years ago was every cop, fireman, airplane, ham and CB radio, on the planet, could key up and blast through your cheap speaker cables, now there is no RFI around me at all. The cable construction is better than ever..

Cable is Cable is a silly way of thinking.. No need to spend a fortune, but you better pay attention to what your trying to do. Shielding is a biggie..
I don't use it if I can get away with it..
