It appears that the contenders are basically the Voima and Triode Wire Labs (although there's 7, 10 and 12 gauge, all priced very differently. Not to mention the variety in plugs).
No idea, sorry! If I were you I would try and test as many as you can. There are literally hundreds of options out there. Shunyata, Isotek, Chord, Naim... etc etc.
I own a few Chord mains cables including the "Power Chord" but couldn't tell you if they are better than the others as I have never compared them to other comparably priced products. I think I paid £175 for it.
I'm sure others will be very interested to hear what you decide on so please keep us posted.
