I've read a lot around here about power cables recently, and it's clear that there are two camps. One believes you can have a noticeable difference with great expensive cables and the other does not. This thread is for those on the latter side of that discussion, if you are in the former side, now's a good time to hit the back button.
I simply want a well made power cable that has sufficient (perhaps overbuilt) power handling and a solid ground in the IEC to 3 prong US design. I expect many of these are so-called hospital grade cables and a 12' or so cable will be maybe $20. Does anyone have a good recommendation for such cables and where to get them? I have seen a lot of variability in the stuff included with computers and I just want to have a reasonable cable. Perhaps that puts me into the cable matters side of things very slightly, but I think there's likely some reason not to go with lamp wire with the right plugs, etc.
I can't be the only one asking this question, but I wasn't having much luck with recent discussions out there.
Ideas?
