Looking at sub $200 power cables.

I’d like to upgrade my power cables if I can see a benefit at the $200ish and under price point in my setup:
-Yamaha 1060 AVR (used as preamp)
-Parasound A23 Halo
-Bluesound Node 2
-Furman 15i PC

I already have some decent interconnects and speaker wire so the power cords are the next place I can tweek. I’ve been reading a lot and it seems I would get my best results starting with my AVR. How important is it to swap the PC out for the Furman to the wall? I’ve been eyeballing some decent deals on Shunyata Venom 3 PCs. I can get 3 of them for around $320. How does the new Shunyata Venom 14 compare?

Is this a waste of money in my system? Should I skip the Node? I understand it’s subjective but appreciate any input.

Thanks.

Great input, thanks again everyone.

The Pangea AC 9SE is 7ga but it’s about the same price, maybe a little higher, than what I see used/leftover 12ga Venom 3 pop up for from time to time. I think I have my mind made up at least on the AC 14SE for my AVR/preamp, Node 2 (C7) and my display.

Thanks for the reply,

I’ve been reading a lot and now I’m wondering if I’m spending too much for significant results in my setup? Do I even need to change the cord from my Furman to the wall? Pangea seems to have some very reasonably priced cords (AC 14SE) and they offer a C7 cord for my Node 2 as well.

Thanks,

How important is it for me to go with 9ga over 14ga on my amp, AVR and Furman? As for my AVR, I'm only using it's amps for HT duty.
