Ching Cheng Power Cords

Does anyone know a source for purchasing ching cheng power cords?

I want to buy a reliable 14 or 16 gauge power cable, but have read enough information that I don't want to spend the money for a boutique or audiophile cable. Nelson Pass ships his amps with this brand of cable, so I figured that's a good enough testimonial for me.

Unfortunately I can't find a way to buy them (their website appears to be made for commercial buyers).

Thanks for any help.

Personally, I use Ka Ching power cords. But they are very expensive. ;-)

I prefer the Mai Tai power cords as they make everything sound better.

The Ching Cheng Power Cords look a lot like the stock BaoHing Power cords. If you just need 14 AWG power cords I say go for the Volex 17604 power cords.

http://www.newark.com/volex/17604/power-cord-nema5-15p-iec-c13-2m/dp/93K2606?mckv=slg1TXFCt|pcrid|61425483995|plid||[keyword_text]|match|b&CMP=KNC-GUSA-GEN-SKU-MDC-VOLEX

Currently they are labeled BaoHing instead of Belden now.

Good luck in your search.

Thanks for the various "real" suggestions. And yes, I did use google... if you look at the actual results from Bill_k's helpful link, there are only 16 power cords almost all of which are used and none of which are under 18 gauge.

In any case, I ended up doing an ebay search for 14awg power cords and found some options.

I know that people will disagree, but it's good information to read, regardless.
