What do you think of this power cord?


Maze Audio is a family-owned company that states it hand-makes its cables in the US.  There is a range of prices for power cables, but I was looking at this entry cable.  I don’t see any mention of the metal used in the cables, but I don’t know if that is as crucial for power cables as for interconnects.  I am interested in your opinions.  Thanks.

bob540,

Let’s add one more brand with inexpensive cables that look fine, are reasonably flexible, and come in different lengths.

They do sell on eBay via auction. It is them, not somebody else selling their cables. Their offers on eBay get regularly updated so, if you do not see what interests you today, check it out in a day or two.

When it comes to gauges, I am not sure how it goes. Zu describes their cheaper cables as 9/13/13 and most expensive ones as 9/9/9 and gives other measurements (resistance, etc.). Signal Cable says 10 and that is it. On the picture, they look very similar in size.

Speaking of end-game equipment, Zu lists "Life Expectancy: 100 years+" Can you beat it?
@bob540 , Yes I know about Hanson Audio in Oakwood & also Cincinnati. It is where I got all my Bryston gear through. 

The Maze Audio cords I purchased are a woven design and therefore quite thick. They are pretty flexible though.
Among other things, the weak point of most power cables/connections is heat dissipation.  We do FLIR (infrared imaging) test of cables in burn-in and here are some images:  https://www.onfilter.com/cable-temperature  We use pretty good industrial-grade cables, yet even they "shine" when it comes to a couple of hours under nominal current.
