Budget Power Cords, which brand to choose?

I know budget means different things to different people, I am talking below $1000 new and $600 second hand. I also know they are very system dependent.

I use an Ayre QB9 DAC fed by a Mac Mini and NAS
TW Accustic Raven one/ortofon 309D/SPU synergy
Modwright 36.5 Pre
ARC Ref 75 Power
Daedalus DA-RMa speakers
Bybee stealth power supply

My power cables are Lessloss original and Sablon Audio and very good they are. There appears to be a number of new small companies getting good reports and reviews, particularly WyWires, Silnote and Triode Wire Labs. I already use Wywires Speaker cable and one XLR interconnect, so that may be the obvious choice. Any thoughts on these or other cheaper cables I haven't thought of? Thanks

I got my first Triode Wire Labs powercord several years ago and since then have replaced my PCs one by one until now every component in the chain is powered by a TWL cord. I have been in this hobby for over 30 years and have never heard cords that do what these do an any price, never mind at what Pete charges. The 7+ sounds great on my ARC VT-200, I would think it will be a worthwhile upgrade for you Ref 75.

Even so, I certainly wouldn't advise you to take my word for it. TWL has a 30 day audition policy, so there is nothing to lose.

You really owe it to yourself to give these cables a try.
