DH Labs Power Plus AC Cables
By Bill Gaw
These are made of 12-gauge high purity copper interleaved in such a way as to minimize inductance and capacitance while attempting to decrease electric fields produced around the cable that may affect the equipment they are attached to. This has got to be the best bargain of all the cables tested. At $6 per foot for bulk cable and $200 for a 2 meter terminated cable they are the least expensive cables I've heard that can be considered high end. They are very malleable, about 1/2 inch in diameter and come with excellent plugs. The bulk cord is a super deal, and if I hadn't wired from the junction box to my room already, I would get a run to use inside of some flexible shielding to bring it up to electrical code. The surface is very slippery, and it is designed to have a low electrical field, so it may be the ideal cable for long runs in the room walls. While not quite as noise free as #4, below (The Silent Source AC at $580 for 6 feet), you can't beat the price for value. I'll be buying several to use with my video equipment to replace the Electraglide stuff at a significant cost saving.
