Power Cable DIY - Please advise

Hi Narcissus,
Don't listen to voices claiming power cords don't maka difference - they do! Mor so, if your system is very open with high resolution. 
I had very good results with silver in cotton for interconnects and speaker cables and applied the same logic/recipe to power cords with same positive performance. With interconnects and speaker cable I experimented with different gauges and found one single conductor always sounded better than multiple ones and that bigger is better. If you look closer to Nordost, Kimber etc you will see they increase total gauge with their better cables as well.
If you don't need to move your power cords around frequently try 10 gauge solid silver for L and N and 8 gauge copper for ground. Put each wire in a thick cotton rope and protect each with heat shrink. Twist all three slightly together and surround with Techflex. I used Wattgate 350i Ag plugs. They are silver coated and cryo treated. This cable does not look or feel sexy but it will transform an excellent system to world class level. Start with CD or transport. It will make your digital front end sound more liquid, relaxed and analog like. Bass will benefit as well. Let me know if you need more info.
Good luck & enjoy!

Like you, I'm lost why this last/first piece of power conductor can have an impact on sound. Several www searches have not answered that question - people write about this subject but I did not find any explanation that would describe the physics behind the effect. Just a few days ago out of curiosity I started experimenting in my system with a DIY power cord and replaced a Black Sand Violet Z1 MK2 power cord. The results shocked me - because they were not just noticeable, but extremely critical. Largest impact had CD playback. The DIY power cord produced a relaxed and analog-like sound from CD that I had not yet experienced (in my system from CD). After this first wake up experiment I started to build cables for other components with similar effects in overall impact on sound. I even burned a CD for a friend to demo the difference - recorded from vinyl onto CD I changed power cords of phonostage and CD recorder and left everything else unchanged. A/B tracks on CD can be changed with the press of a button and you  an easily hear the difference. I'll be glad to burn a demo CD - anyone interested?
However, my point is that just because nobody was able yet to scientifically explain a certain phenomenon it does not mean that it does not exist. If scientists like Einstein would have thought this way, we would still be drawing on cave walls. Curiosity is the fuel on the way to wisdom ...
