audiphile power cords

Romex wiring found in many buildings actually works quite well. So it really becomes all about that last few feet and also how well the power cord is terminated- molded cords generally are not terminated very well.

Ralph (Atmasphere),

Are you saying that a power cord made from Romex with quality terminations would make a great power cord if you can deal with the stiffness? Would you recommend twisting, braiding, or leaving the conductors parallel?

Thanks Al. I'm aware of the dangers of using solid core wire for power cords, but you bring up a good point. There are (or at least were) some aftermarket companies that make solid core power cords. I assume they are not UL listed and could result in insurance claim problems. I'm not sure I would want anything like that in my system.
