DIY Power cord


I have some 4 core 10 gauge screened  cable with ptfe dielectric that I'd like to use for a power amplifier mains cable that will be terminated with an IEC plug. What should I do with the fourth core? Just leave it,  use it as an extra earth cable or perhaps an extra live wire?

Double up on the neutral side and use opposite conductors not side by side...

My own diy PC's have a dual neutral which seems to provide better performance.

Using a higher quality conductor like furutech will improve dynamic performance, but the helix geometry will get you better image, deeper, better controlled bass, more clarity, and smoother mid and highs

 I first tried one made from Romex house wire and it was better than my PC made from Furutech bulk cable. Both had the silver plated copper connectors.

I use them throughout my system and am yet to find a better cable.

The Connctors, being silver plated copper,  provide great bang for the buck

Something to try on the cold winter nights 😊
