DIY PCs

I am thinking about upgrading my system power cables.  First off, I should confess that I am an objectivist and a cable skeptic.  That said, I see nothing wrong with a little bling in the cable department.  I don't think any of the present PCs are stock, they are lab grade molded connector types suitable for lab test equipment.  I will need four PCs: Pass INT-150, Oppo UDP-205, and 2 x ML Montis.  I will most likely go DIY and would like to spend around $50 each.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for your replies.

I suggest you get one good power cord for starters, for your Pass Labs integrated. You can build it yourself, yes, nothing wrong with it, but not sure the parts alone will cost less than $50 (good parts that is), let alone labor.

One of the nice gents in these forums (forgot the name) swears by these Chinese power cords: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202808747120?var=502967448569

They are in your budget, and you don’t have to spend a minute of your time.

Or look for a used Shunyata Venom NR v10 or HC.

Kudos for having the willingness to experiment and for overcoming your biases
