Power cords Essence -Synerg-Ensemble

ProFlo on my mono tube amps made a great difference, however it is still system dependent. Great value for the $.

Save your bucks til you can afford a used Cobra Powersnake(s). It is amazing! I'm comparing the Cobra to the King Cobra to the EG Fat Boy on my tube monoblocks. Though the King Cobra is very good and my system prefers the Fat Boys on the amps, the Cobra is the hands-down winner when it comes to performance versus cost. Some may actually prefer it to the King Cobra (original version), it is that good. Goodluck.

Almost forgot. The best cord under $500 is the Coincident powercord at about $275 new. It takes a good two to three weeks to sound it's best. As long as you don't listen to the Cobras, you'll love them. Goodluck.

Known name brands may or may not be fine, but overpriced you can pretty well count on. For some ideas on what MAKES a power cord good, why not look at the current STEALTH HAC power cord Audiogon auction? I have three of them in my system, replacing Classe and Cardas, and, especially after adding a dedicated ground, they improved my sound a lot. I would suggest the dedicated ground before ANY new power cord. Be sure to make it at least 10 gauge, though.
