DIY Power Cables Instead of Used


Good Day All,
     I'm hoping to gain from the benefit of your experiences comparing power cables, or your knowledge from extensive reading.  I'm leaning heavily toward DIY at this point, but am always open to overachieving reasonably priced new from authorized U.S. distribution or European channels.  Though I was originally very big on shopping mid to high end pre-owned power cables, I am no longer entertaining the used market for this purchase.
     I ask that you please share what your observations of a brand/model are, rather than just throw a brand name out and say you recommend it.  Any help you could provide is greatly appreciated.  I'm seeking to upgrade the power chords on all of my components and am already working on installing direct circuits from the service panel, with audio grade receptacles.
     Thanks ...

What about getting some Furutech FP S55n with Furutech FI 50 NSF connectors, unbelievably good DIY sort of and would sell pretty quickly if needed. There as good as any Shunyata cables including the new Sigmas at a fraction of the cost. The Furutech FPN 4 I believe is even better but considerably more expensive.
The Furutech FP S55N is a limited addition and is mostly sold out in the US and the DSP4 ( Not FPN4 , I was wrong) is like I said expensive. The TC series of cables would be good BUT whatever you do get the FI 50 NSF connectors they are more important then the cable. 

I had the Shunyata Sigmas,Alpha Nr and KC and after reading several post on Whatsbestforum where guys have sold off there Shunyata cables and replaced them with the Furutech' I tried them and sold mine as well. There that good.

The difference between the Shunyata and Furutech is in the layering of instruments and holographic soundstage with the Furutechs. The tonal balance, transparency, bass is the same. 
The cables well take 600 hrs to burn in but the Fi 50 NSF is closer to 700 hours, be patient and enjoy the burn in.
