Power cord

The OP posed a tricky question

1. There’s no information on what the cord is for - source component, preamp, amp, active speakers, power conditioner. Is the $1500 price range for a used cable or new

2. What brand/model component is it

3. What’s the system consist of

4. Preference for sound - warm, dark, bright?

Everyone will try to recommend what they like. Every system is different and even if someone has exactly the same component or even the exact same system, no two rooms sound alike. The way the question is posed it’s impossible to make even a remotely valid recommendation.

I’ve used 3 different AQ power cords and I don’t care for them. I also tried Furutech DPS 4.1 with NCF for connectors. I have all nordost power cables now. All this tells you is what I like in my system in my room. Means nothing to you.

I’m of the belief most of these cable posts are born just to further the controversy. At least once a month the same old same old. 
 

this is one of the very few times I agree with you @1971gto455ho 

Have you auditioned both and arrived at these two brands as your final choice?  Of the two at your price point I would choose AQ.  If you have not auditioned, add WyWires Platinum.  I preferred them over similarly priced AQ. Very neutral, spacious and  detailed SQ without being cool and analytical (like how I find Nordost).  Personal preference. Read pro reviews and add to your audition list.  The designer, Alex, is a pleasure to work with. 

@brunomarcs I sure would like to know where you are seeing DPS 4.1 power cable for $100 a meter.  VH Audio lists them for $394/meter.

Hey. I started this thread sometime ago. I hope that it helps some.
