I have tried quite a few power cords, including very expensive power cords from Synergistic Research and Shunyata. I have tried Kaplan and did not like them in my system...BPT cords are better.
Although I won't claim they are better than a top-of-the Kubala Sosna or Stealth, I think you get truly awesome performance from Audio Arts Power 1 and Black Sands Violet cords at a fraction of the cost of the mega-buck cords.
I would also pick up a Gabriel Gold power cord used, as all Steve's cables are outstanding.
