My First DIY Power Cable


Thinking of trying my first DIY power cable.  Would like to keep it under couple hundred $$.  Looks like it could be done with products from the Furutech site.  Any other resource recommendations?

@mitch2 You really know about Oyaide power cords. I like them and their plugs along with Furutech.

However in the value stakes I think Oyaide have it. I have an Oyaide R1 wall socket which is Beryllium Copper, the top Furutech is double the price.

Oyaide market their VONDITA Xe cord as a power (amp) type cord but I've found it's extremely detailed. Putting any power cord on my master clock reveals a lot. It was far too detailed (read harsh) for my master clock.

It's since found it's place on my ethernet optical fiber box, on which it does a wonderful job.

@auxinput +1 With all the resources at Furutech's disposable they have good reasons for using Rhodium but usually offer an identical product in gold.

Personally I've found Beryllium Copper (Oyaide) to be the sweet spot between the two. However some components still favour Rhodium.

Recently bought one of these, Oyaide's latest cable. Check out the specs. Oyaide plugs are used by Tara Labs amongst others. A great front end cable.
