Bulk power cables suggestions

I've seen millercarbon pretty much post the exact same message in another thread somewhere. Many have had huge success with DIY cables.

Yes! Congratulations on following me and thanks for noticing. When something is right and can save people a lot of time and trouble I make a point of spreading the news. 

Many do have huge success with DIY cables. I have some right now that were deemed a huge success. Like I said they are a whole lot better than freebie rubber power cords. Damn impressive in one or two areas even. They are not however in the same league as could be bought from any of a number of different manufacturers, and for the same or less money. So not a total fail. 

But I've never said it was. DIY cables are great for guys who enjoy building DIY cables. Also for guys who want to think they figured out how to beat the system, or whatever. Some guys would never buy the best sounding speaker in the world simply because of the way it looks. Some guys will never buy really good wire simply because it crosses some arbitrary imaginary threshold they have of what is "worth it". We all have our preferences. All I'm saying is if your preference is the most sound quality for the money then DIY is not the way.

If your goal is to convince yourself you outsmarted the competition and got better than those rubes who pay inflated prices then you're on the right track. A couple here will validate your quest and you'll all be one happy family. 

But if on the other hand your goal is the most sound quality for the least money then you could hardly do worse than to try and DIY your own wire. It just never works. I have in my room this very moment a power cord sent me to prove DIY can work. It cost $150-200 just in parts let alone the labor which I'm told is hours to build one. It sounds way better than freebie rubber power cords. Being totally honest here. There is no comparison. Light years better than the rubber crap. But compared to even a 30 year old Shunyata? Not even. 

That is by the way 30 years of people trying to prove they can outsmart the professionals. News flash: you will not outsmart the professionals. If you want the best power cord for the money do like everyone else, find it and buy it. 

Or tell yourself stories.

Choose wisely.
