Shorter length power cable recommendations?


Hello friends -

Recently I added a Furman Elite-15 PF i 13-Outlet Linear Filtering AC Power Source to my system.  I was previously using an inexpensive surge protector for all of my equipment.  

Since removing the surge protector and following the input recommendations for where to plug in components I have noticed a significant improvement in listening to records on my Sansui SR-717 turntable  Just an overall improvement in the sound quality.  Other components continue to sound fine.  The real purpose of the Furman, in my use case was to get rid of the less than desirable surge protector.

My issue is that my power cords are all very long for my components and I have a bit of a spaghetti mess behind my system. 

I am located in the US, I am using Cambridge Audio components - would you have any recommendations for power cord brands that are short?  Like around 2 feet in length?  Ideally a power cable would cost less than $100.

I do plan on making changes to my system over the coming year - for instance I have an Eversolo T8 streamer coming next week, but I think as a general rule the distance between my current or future components will remain the same as will the plug inputs.  

A response - just use zip ties is also perfectly appreciated. 

Thank you for taking the time to respond and I appreciate any comments you have!

You guys are simply the cheat code for all things audio. 

Zip ties?  Not a chance now. (My OCD is screaming, but I think I can manage it.)

I appreciate each of you taking the time to help educate me on power cable lengths.

I will look into the recommended brands in greater depth over the next couple of weeks as the rest of my system comes into greater clarity.    

If anyone has any other suggestions for brands or (cable management) anything else, it is always deeply appreciated and sincerely considered.

I appreciate each of you helping me out.

Look into Audience Forte F3 power cable. Not going to break a bank and provides a nice upgrade over stock cords especially for the amp. 

Only those with "golden ears" can tell the difference between power cords A and B. For the rest Home Depot is fine.

Heard from someone very wise that a power cable should not be shorter than 3 ft.
