Power Cord for $50 or less?

I have a Jolida 707a Tube Amp and Jolida 100A Tube CD player. I have been told that it's a good idea to upgrade the power cords on these two units. I don't have a lot of money to spend. Probably somewhere around $100 for both cables. I looked into the Absolute Power Cord, but those are backordered until January. Is there any other brand(s) that fit what I need that are worth looking into?

Try element cable
Not sure about Blue Power Cord ($49) but I have several ElementCords ($59) best value for money IMHO

If possible, listen to the cables you are considering purchasing in your system before you buy, and/or check the dealer's return policy. It is all about synergy. What sounds good in one system on one component may sound terrible in another.

Grab some wire and plugs and make your own.

Good advice for $50.

The Pangeas are good, but another option is to go to Zu Cable's closeout page and order a couple of the Birth cables. You have a 60-day return period. These are nice power cables, especially at that price, and are much more flexible and easy to use than the Pangeas, good as those are. After ordering both brands I sent back the Pangeas and got more Zu's in favor of the easier handling. Plus those Zu's sound really good.

I'm happy with my Element Red Storm, and would feel good about trying also their "Blue" and "Element" cords, to fit your budget.
