Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ?

I`ve used solid core powercords for about 25 years. DIY, 12awg shielded. 9awg to poweramp. (big guy)

They do not "do" anything, but they are the only PC without any loss, distortion aso

Btw; speakercables should be made the same way, but needs to be of bigger area because of the lower current on secondary side

jea48; Romex will outperform any manufactured PC

" Romex will outperform any manufactured PC"
Not true, Romex uses low grade copper, has no shield and in some system configurations, would introduce noise. I have had that experience.

There's no reason to think that using high grade copper for a power cord would result in better power/sound, but yet, some get good results. 

No reason to think that having a power cord be of better quality than what is in the wall should give better results, but yet, some get that. 

Only thing that I know for sure, is that the only way to know is to try it. 


I would also suppose, that maybe much is dependent on what a particular house is wired with in the first place. I wonder if lath provides some sort of shielding? 

Here is one of the problems when solid wire in sizes like #14 or larger are used for a power cord. Even if the male plug uses a screw and terminal plate to terminate the solid wire, and, even when the screw/terminal plate is tight against the solid (straight piece) of wire any physical movement, bending of the cable at the plug, can cause the wire in the connection to become loose. With the IEC female connector usually a single set screw tightens down on the solid wire.  Any movement here causes an even looser connection. A loose connection can cause arcing. Arcing causes AC noise. Noise = distortion. It can also cause voltage drop across the arcing connection.

The only sure way to stop the connections from becoming loose from bending at the terminations is to solder the terminations after they have been tightened down.
