Affordable Power Cords

Looking to replace the stock power cord on my Jolida 502A tube integrated amp and am considering purchasing Signal Cable's MagicPower power cord. But before I do so, I was wondering if other have had experience with this power cord and what their thoughts are about it? Also, would appreciate some suggestions on other affordable power cords ($50 - $100 range).

Thanks.

The most affordable is the one the factory provides.

Audioparts Inc is having a sale on this site on the Audio One Reference. I had ordered two previously to try on a pair of Stratos monos and am very pleased. I had tried Shunyata Snakebites, Zu Gede, and LAT International AC-2, and actualy preferred the stock PCs. Just my opinion, but I think the Audio One Reference is a good PC, period. Now, add in the $89.00 sale price and I am very happy (for a change).

Here you go(Bob Crump's power cord):

Do a search on AA..it's a very good cord. Used cryo'd cable & terminations for an additional step up. Easy to make & inexpensive.

Appreciate everyone suggestions. Looks like I'll go with either the:

1. Element
2. Audio One Reference
3. Shunyata Vemon

Also, I think I'll upgrade the wall receptacle that the amp plugs into. My brother-in-law is a licensed journeyman electrician, so I believe an invite to dinner should get that work done.

Once again, thanks.
