Power cables of your choice, and why?


After receiving a few responses to this, I'll include what I use in my systems.

Curious about a power cable I have heard at two shows, 2024 FLAX and Axpona 2025. The M101 Flare power cable specifically. Relatively affordable for 1m at $599. I was impressed with what I heard during both demo's. 

Anyone have them?

@doyle3433 curious how you could tell it was those power cords from a "system" that impressed you? Could it have been the speakers? Or maybe the amp?

Snake River Audio Takshaka - competes well with AQ Dragon and TOL Masterbuilt cables at a much lower price

Kimber PowerKord Palladian PK10/PK14 - Audio Bacon 2019 PC shootout

QSA Discovery - AXPONA 2025 - heard significant positive sonic difference in cable switching demo, so will try very inexpensive PC in own system to see if I want to move up PC product line

In one of my systems I'm using a mix of Shunyata Research Sigma X NR and Sigma V2 NR because they suppress noise and allow me to hear additional details and/or hear those details more clearly.

@lak that's how I felt/heard when my dealer lent me a Furutech Project V1 ac cord. Initially I thought things got darker but after a few days listening I put back my original cord and wow the noise heard in the soundstage was eye opening. The Furutech went back in and it was clearly less noise and more music.
