Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire?

"2)Re vibration sensitivity of power cords, my answer, as an experienced multi-degreed electronics engineer and analog and digital circuit designer, and as a long-time audiophile, is that I don't have the slightest idea. :)"

LOL that's an answer I can completely accept!

thanks guys

One thing to keep in mind is that you can get an electrician to install a dedicated outlet from the panel for a very reasonable amount of money ($300 in my case, 50 feet away) that helps isolate and reduce noise.
second- any cable will be an improvement if compared to the original-china-made-50-cents-cable.
I recommend you start with a simple upgrade, and work from there.
Cheers

Pmboyd...do you have credit card with a nice credit limit?

Here's what you can do...spend approx a few thousand dollars on some "really good cables". Buy a few from different vendors WITH the stipulation that you can return for a FULL REFUND. Your answer will be evident to you very easily. Heck...buy one of those 5000.00 dollar cables if you limit will allow. With the same stipulations.

But make sure you do this...have someone else install these for you. DONT EVEN LOOK AT THE CORDS. Make your measurments. I did this...spent 10K on cables (not just power), returned all but a few. But only due to looks. If the damn thing impresses your eyes...your're half-way to buying it. Listen first, don't look.

Cheers
