PC's with solid core conductors?

Does anyone know of any good quality (not silly expensive) power cords (besides Audioquest and Ridge Street Audio) that use solid conductors (wire) with quality copper conductors in the male/female plugs as well? It seems strange that after all that I have read regarding the "disadvantages" of using stranded wire for audio that most of the quality PC's, or DIY wire, that I have located are made with stranded wire.

All input appreciated.

I do not know your definition of silly expensive is, but the Harmonic Tech's Pro AC-11 power cord is the best bang for the buck solid core copper power cord in the market today. The newer version comes with Furutech's high-grade ends and cost about $120 for a 1M in the used market. Older version with Hubble AC plug and stock iec can be have for $100.

Don't waste time on others.

The HT's Pro AC-11 will blow the PS Audio's Prelude SC away. Even the Plus SC is not in the same league as the Pro AC-11.

I jumped from the Pro AC-11 to the Statement SC through out my system.

As I said earlier, don't waste time on others unless you like to pay for more than $300 for a used cord.
