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 to find a used first generation shunyata venom. The new Venom 3 lists for 99 bucks but will probably be available soon for used rates. The venom blows away anything else I've heard sub 300. The resale value on Shunyata wire is the highest and most stable among all power cords.

While I do have a few audiophile grade power cords for source components and a sub-woofer, what about just simply purchasing a length of say 8, 10 or 12 gauge 2 or 3 conductor brand new soft copper wire at Home Depot (i.e. Southwire brand) and make your own connections with some high quality plugs? Wouldn't this be accomplishing the same thing as investing in these higher end power cables? All you're trying to accomplish is maximizing the amount of electrical current flowing from the wall outlet to your component, right??
