Is anyone in the US making power cables like this custom PC cable ad on the Canadian Mart?

An ad on the Canuck Audio Mart for custom made power cables piqued my interest, but the seller only does business in Canada.  He uses what appears to be good quality 10 AWG stranded wire, good Furitech FI-11 plugs, power crimps spades onto the conductors with contact enhancer, and uses top quality sleeving.  His pricing seems very fair as well, but he only accepts EMT from Canadian banks.

Who in the US is making compatible quality, reasonably priced cables like this?  I've read a plethora of threads on power cables here.  I especially like the detail of pneumatically crimping the strands and spade.  This reminds me of the  welded termination that Blue Jean Cables uses on their Canare 4s11 speaker cable terminations (that level of detail, anyway).  Before the suggestion is offered, without the buying power, the wire and plug ends to make these cables, would cost more than the price the seller offers, let alone the contact enhancer, heat shrink, etc.

I've read about Raven Audio, Audio Envy, Clarity Cable, Anticable, and countless others.  I believe in aftermarket, audio grade power cables, so there's no debate.  This is for a second system, and I like the idea of value oriented cables.  Thanks in advance for your help.

I made five power cables using furutech parts, Idk what they use for wire in there expensive pc's themselves?  The first cable took about 3 hours to build, the last two for my amps  took less than half the time combined. I used there spades and contact enhancer, fl-50ncf (r) plugs, dps 4.1 cable. Tech flex sleeving,

A very fun project and a beast of a pc. Building speaker cables now. I suggest you do the same as it's not rocket science.

Is it as good as a Ted Denney special? I highly doubt it but it's good enough for your first pc's!
