Question about assembling my own DIY AC Cable

@carlsbad said:

Do your tube amps not like shielded cables terminated on both ends (may cause ground loop) or were you saying that there is a problem if they are grounded only on one end?

For a better word a shielded power cord sucks the air out of the music.

As for grounds loops..., I must be blessed I have never experienced ground loop hum from any audio equipment I have ever owned.

.

What am I supposed to do with all these strands? They are solid core and quite stiff I don't think it's possible to twist them together.

Should i just bundle them together in 2 branches and use a heatshrink were the green, black and red insulation is still there to keep them bundled together?

Or is it better if the individual strands are a bit apart from each other and just insert them like this into the connector?

You can start with the exposed, stripped ends of the wire being a bit long (like 1/4 inch or 2mm longer than you need) and then use a pliers to grip them at the end and twist them together. The very end where you gripped the wires with the pliers will be screwed up so you cut the ends off so that all three sets of twisted wires are equally long and the ends look tidy.

You don't think it will create kinks or maybe even break? They are 1mm each in diamater 

thanks for the answer
