A budget power cord has speed and transparent but not overly bright.


Power cords, help.
Budget is $200 or less
My 2nd system needs more speed, details and air. I can slowly add them in until they aren’t overly bright. Gauge size not matter. I’m open for DIY as well since I have good Wattage AC power plugs laying around. Nordost and Audioquest in mind but how about Pangea?
Thank you all

@thyname - thanks for posting this link - this is a very interesting power cable indeed and for such a complex fabrications technique seems very affordable. Even the silver version is reasonably priced

FYI: I am into cable geometry and there is a lot about this cable that is done right.

The fact it uses UP-OCC copper peaked my curiosity, and reading more revealed an interesting approach as to how EACH conductor is made i.e.  Tight Pitch Twist Stranding.

This approach should cut down on distortions generated within the cable itself, providing pure clean power to connected components

It’s not perfect, but from what I can see of its design/construction I can appreciate why people gives it such high praise.

In this price range it is probably the best power cable on the market

Absolutely pinpoint observations Steve @williewonka !!
Tight pitch twist is their main construction / stranding / geometry, as well as Pure Copper 6N (PC) Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC). The highest up in the line (Silver Darts) have hybrid silver copper OCC, as well as graphene for shielding.
