Doing the Power Cord Thing

Eric I would be interested to know how your cable turns out.

It was a couple of months ago, dont remember the brand. Was from audio store and on sale from 749.00 to 499.00

I guess I am confused or just lack experience.  But my question would be if a company can make a power cord for x amount of $ and sell it for $$$$, why would a DIY not be able to make the same cord if given the same exact parts.  To me and I say this lightly without offending anyone, why can't it be done. These companies that make cables have someone actually hand making them, given same parts I find it confusing why DIY would not have the same result,  if you believe cables matter. I dont want to get into the whole cable war, but I have heard a difference with a couple I have demoed.  In the end I kept the one that came with my amp because it the highs became to high.  I am a newb and I dont have the knowledge of you long time audiophiles. 

Quite possible, maybe it had silver in it.  Whatever it was made my highs almost ear bleeding at high volume.  Put my original cord back and problem solved.  If I was to build a power cable I would make it 12/3 and good connector.  I was at audio store this weekend and a guy I met there said he uses a power conditioner,  I guess the same as hospitals use and it works. He said he bought it from Amazon for about 600.  I'm thinking maybe that's the place to invest if u already have everything else. 

This is what my buddy was taking about. I said conditioner, but its isolation.

I'm all for doing it right and I would not waste my time or money, if I thought i wasn't going to do it right. So I totally agree with you geoffkait. If you cant do it right, don't do it at all.  I am a complete research freak, that's why I am always here asking questions from the experienced crowd. 

I am a believer in DIY for certain things and save the cash for equipment.  Cables seem pretty easy to make. 

On a site I was on, some stated to use a cable that had semi conducting foil, like aluminum polyester or ferrite. But u probably already know that.

Erik can you please make a good cable so we can follow.  I think it's great  that you can do this.  Even if its failed attempt its still fun to DIY.  
As far as PC go, I'm fine spending 100 or 200 on a cable, but I dont have the funds to drop 1k on a single cable.  And if I needed 6 PCs that's 6k. I'd rather buy another amp. For all of us in this hobby, it's all about the wallet and some just have bigger wallets.  All my other cables are transparent.  All my PCs are the originals, which I really would like to upgrade.

Lalitk, 
The price is affordable.  Let me know how you like them.

For PC, I can see myself not spending much over 100 to 200 per cord. Truth be known its carrying power and I personally believe like mentioned above u change one thing for another.  Really the change in sound is personal preference.  As far as me buying new cords in that range would be, because I need something to buy. Lol, got to keep it fun. If I was to make my own PC cable, it would be for fun and satisfaction of making something.  Same satisfaction I get when I do wood working.  Building something I can call my own. Keep up the great work Eric and anyone else who is a DIY.  If it wasn't for DIY crowd, your car stereo would be in a horse and buggy.

Its always funny to make your own things.  And better when they work close to your expectations.  Did they do the cryo thing back in the 90's?
