Best DIY power cable. Why not make?


Ok perhaps I don't get it.  You have hot, neutral, ground and connectors.  I am looking for advise from those that have found the secret sauce in making power cables or at least those that have had great success.  With all the quality cable and connectors why not make your own?  I refuse to pay $2,000 plus for a power cable that would take a hour to build.  I am seeking your guidance and suggestions.  Thanks!

Well I made my own power cable using Furutech DPS-4 cable (Retails $449/meter) and Furutech Nano connectors (Retails $350 a set). I also used Furutech Nano liquid on the cut wire ends. Now I must admit I was able to get the raw cables and connectors for less than retail due to a quantity discount. 

But still pretty pricey for a DIY project. However, these are the best sounding cables I have owned. (except for one other). And I have owned many, many cables.

brian and others,

Way back in the early days I too thought that after market power cords was hooey. Afterall, with all the romex used before the system how could one silly length of electrical wire make a difference? And if it does then why didn’t the manufacturer supply a better one with the product?

Well, a dealer loaned me a Synergistic Research Master Coupler power cord and when I first plugged it in I thought, ...what?... how the he--? this can’t be...
And from then on I was hooked. Now, not every after market power cord is a game changer and you do have to have a resolving system.
But, with the right cord and a good system you will not be able to go back to the stock cable.
