Unusually good power cord for the money?

I will vote for the Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler. You should consider the X series Active shield.

Check out chris venhaus' cables... think its venhausaudio.com.

FWIW, if you really don't know anything about power cords, invest some time in learning before you leap. You might just save some money. I have found often that heavy guage, cheapo, Belden sounds as good as anything. At best, a lot of folks can't hear a difference and most who do hear differences find them subtle compared to speaker cable, IC's etc. YMMV.

One of the Sonoran Plateau power cords listed on Audiogon right now (type 'Sonoran' in the Search box).

Star Sound Technology has come out with a new reference power cord for about $850.00 for one meter, so the old reference model (the Plateau) are coming up here as everyone upgrades.
