DIY cables are a joke. Not that a lot of guys haven't deluded themselves into believing the fantasy you just described. Which is pure fantasy. Because try and imagine, if it was true, everyone would notice and no one would pay $500 for a $50 wire. No one. Or look at it the other way, if DIY was so good people would be building $50 cables and selling them for $500. So its pure deluded fantasy any way you slice it. Not that its not a popular fantasy. Just one with not a shred of evidence or even common sense behind it.
DIY cables are so bad, such a total waste of time and money, I have yet to see one that preformed as good as what you could buy for less than they spent on the parts to make it. A friend with 30 years practice had his masterpiece blown away by an old $75 Synergistic pulled at random from my discarded cable drawer. I hope you are getting the message.
Do yourself a favor. Whatever amount you are thinking of spending on wire, just go buy whatever used Synergistic cable you can find. Or even less. Heck even half. No matter what. No matter how old. It will kill anything you could build. Crush. Embarrass. Destroy. Its said Nike had the most famous marketing slogan of all time: Just do it. I have an even better one for DIY cables: Don't.
