What is the best power cable under $200.00 retail?

Does anyone have any idea what a power cord is suppose to do or not do beyond having sufficient gauge to carry the current one or two meters from the outlet to the IEC? I never heard any explanation that made much sense to me, especially with power regulation built into electronics, or poor connections between plug and wire. What is the theory here? Other than adequate guage?

SILVER CIRCLE AUDIO worth EVERY penny makes a day and night difference. Money back if not happy

Careful.

The third rail is hot.

DIY. Purchase some 3 conductor, 10 gauge pure copper w/ silver plating transmission wire in the length required and then attach a set of Furutech connectors. (plug and IEC)
Purchase the best you can afford within your budget and if performed carefully you will have produced a power cord that rivals the best in the industry.
Off hand, I can't think of any commercially available power cords in your price range that perform well and your audio components can and will sound only as good as the 'sound' of the power cable supplying them.
It has taken me a long while to get my head around this notion but has proven to me anyway, to be true.
