I lost a bid on an audiophile power cord I was interested in buying (for around $100.00), and decided that I was going to try to find some less expensive alternatives, since I was sort of on the fence anyway. Now I know that there are likely benefits to going with a more specialized, fancier cord, but right now I'll be happy knowing that I've got something that at least has better connectors than the stock AC cords I'm using on some of my equipment.I found a place that sells UL-, CSA-approved Hospital-Grade, Green Dot AC power cords very inexpensively.
Today, I special ordered (they were out of stock of the 6-foot length) a 14-gauge power cord for US $10.40 to try out. I may wind it through a ferrite loop to eliminate electrical noise from my sump pump and refrigerator (I do that now with my stock cords and it has worked quite well).
The prices are as follows:
6-foot length: US$ 10.40
8-foot length: US$ 11.65
10-foot length: US$ 11.98When you call (1-800-669-8090) make sure to ask for Katherine at extension 135. She was very nice and very helpful.
