Mogami Power Cable
DIY project: Looking to build an AC power cable for receiver and was wondering if anyone has used Mogami cable for build. Quite a few youtube vids showing builds with Yarbo or Oyaide cables but only one that I can find using Mogami 2534 cable (ungrounded/unshielded). Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks
You can't use signal cable. Beware as anyone can make and post a youtube video. I googled the other 2 cables you mentioned and they look nice. they are the metric equivalent of 10awg so are good for an amp and are well shielded. (the shield isn't so much for your power cable but for nearby signal cables, not really required in most cases). Jerry |
As I mentioned, both of the other cables mentioned by the OP are shielded. In addition to what Erik said, I'll add that I don't trust this guy much. I'd double check everything he says, especially whether a ground wire is required. His graphics call 2 12awg wires 6 awg which is wrong (they are about 9 awg) so he lacks some understanding. I didn't watch the rest of the video to see if he got other things wrong. Jerry |
@lcjockey I thought I saw a yarbo option that didn't have individual insulated strands. I think that was an idea not well thought out and they are eager to sell out of it. I agree, avoid it. -Jerry |
