Only power cord 5awg or less than I'm aware of is by First Impression Music (FIM) and it's basically a stiff bar of wire that needs to be bent into the desired shape. Understand it's made up of nine 2.5mm solid core conductors and the only one I've seen has a serial number on it. Sounds excellent, but on a scale of 1 to 10 for usability I'd call it a "1", and they haven't made it for many years (probably takes that long to break it in too).
