Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire?
VH Audio? DH Labs? Cryoparts? Volex, etc? Maybe not for source cords, but Furutech, Nanotech, Oyaide, and the like is too expensive for amp cords.

I've experimented rather extensively with DIY power cords and have found, with my equipment, that the Cryo-Parts is quite superior to DIY Crump, DIY Flavor 4 with Belden 83802, Volex, & DH Labs. All of the others were only marginal improvements over a stock cord. If I'd stopped experimenting before trying the Cryo-Parts, I'd have validated my skeptical outlook on aftermarket power cords. Pretty much instantly after installing the Cryo-Parts on my amp, I knew that this was a real, audible, and substantive upgrade.
Hmmmm. I doubt that Home Depot type wire is the same quality as, say, DG Labs, which is silver coated copper with shielding and vibration damping...

You didn't mention you were looking for these features in your OP.I guess we have different ideas on what "budget" means.Good luck in your search.
I have exchanged e-mails with Chris VenHaus on this one and have done my own A/B testing. THE budget high current PC is the Flavor 4. You will find better, but not unless you spend multiples more. Build a Flavor 4 with your favorite connectors and you will be VERY happy.

I use three 20A Flavor 4 PCs with Furutech FI-25Rs for my three Shunyata PLCs and could not be happier.

My two cents.
Supra Lorad is 13 ga, thinner than VH, DH or Cryo, to mention a few. DH Labs told me today that their literature on the Power Plus wire is incorrect, it's 11 ga, not 12.
Gauge of coarse is not the only factor. The cable is wonderful for the money. 2 meters is $30. It is a very good option to consider. DH Labs is also good. I have owned both.
