Power cord craze What should I get for $100

Make your own using 4-5 feet of the JPS in-wall cable with a Marinco 320 IEC and 8215 Male. Cost should come in around $100-$110 U.S. Performance comparable to the JPS power retailing at $450 U.S. (there have been recent sellers on Audiogon of JPS Powers that have simply replaced them with this cable.)

Far better than Blue Circle BC 62 and LAT cords which I have owned and in the same league (probably better) than two Cardas Goldens which I also use. Very black background and balanced presentation from top to bottom, very smooth and musical with great bass performance.

What do you want the PC to Audibly do? Warmth, bass, etc.

I was also looking for a "budget" power cable a couple weeks ago and ended up getting the Synergisic Research A/C Master Coupler here, thinking that if I don't like it, I can always resell it easily. I have to tell you that I was very skeptical with the power cord hoopla before I finally decided to give it a shot, and as a result, I'm keeping the cable. Compared to the stock cable of my cdp, the soundstage became wider, especially with music that has a lot of ambience in the background. The lower detail is more revealing, the bass gets tighter, and everything just seems so much clearer and open. That said, I'm not a believer and would advise you to give it a try. Worst case, you lose $10. Best case, it takes your system to a different level.

Now I wonder what a PS Audio P300 Power Regenerator can do to my system....

My gear:
Rega Planet 2000 cdp
VAC Avatar Tube Integrated amp
Sonus Faber Grand Piano speakers
Nordost Blue Heaven IC/Bi-wired speaker cables
and the new addition...Synergistic Research A/C Master Coupler.

I agree with Stevenkc and others who recommend the SR A/C Master Coupler. In my system it was better than any DIY cord I tried and many more expensive ones.
