Recently a friend of mine introduced me to a power cord he had made in house from a particular Indian brand of electrical household wiring cable. That power cord terminated with absolutely el-cheapo $1 connectors handsome beat a Harmonix Studio Master XDC, Kubala Sosna Fascination, Audience Au24, couple of Shunyatas, and quite a few well known power cords hands down. I tried that basic cord in my system and holy cow, music was never so fluid and real in my room before this.
Thankfully those wires are available in the local stores here, I went ahead and purchased a 90 meter roll for about $50 and made power cords for my entire system (I still have more than 50 meters left), I only spent on better Wattgate connectors. My system went to a different level of performance just by this basic wire. If I were to achieve the same level of refinement and performance from branded cables, I am sure I would have to spend in excess of $5k only on the power cords and still I may not be done with it.
This is a permanent solution as I would have to never worry buying expensive power cords for a new equipment on my rack in future. I am planning to add Oyaide connectors to it soon.
