Unusually good power cord for the money?

radio shack,$9.99.

Check out Ernie Meunier's DIY offerings. Great power cords, assembled, or, you can build them yourself with good supplied instructions, and materials, usually in 30 min, or less. It's fun, too. Member lookup: "Subaruguru". He offers great cords at very reasonable prices. Try one, you'll like it. If you don't you can probably sell it on the 'gon.

rule #1- save buying after-market pwr cords for last
rule #2- never spend more than $300 for one (used of course);
this is the limit i like to set for myself- you set your own.
i happen to like dimarzio pwr cords- $225 retail,and you can get them for alot less (brand new). very well made.

you can make yourself a vh audio power cord or get a discounted zu power cord from ebay.

I also recommend VH Audio pc's-and I believe he has a trial period.
The Audience and Virtual Dynamic pc's ain't bad either.
I can't understand those posters who state they can't hear a difference.
For me, the differences are real and very noticable.
Good Luck!
