You are recommending an effective gauge of 9-10 Duster and you still have to find fault. I said 8 or 10. Hard for me to see any big disagreement here. Tweaker

The reason for my comment is in regards to a large gauge silver plated DIY mil-spec power cord, not the effective gauge in and of itself. Of coarse, a large gauge power cord tends to be very beneficial for a high-current application such as a subwoofer. It's the type of conductor which presents even greater unnatural tonal bloom as the gauge of the silver plated mil-spec conductor increases, in my experience.
For the record, the VH Audio Flavor 4 features two 12 AWG unplated/bare copper conductors per pole (L & N), wired via a self-shielding star quad geometry for a 9 AWG aggregate/effective gauge power cord. The Flavor 4 provides a very solid bottom end with excellent dynamics for a high-current application. You should build one for yourself instead of championing silver plated mil-spec wire for a DIY power cord project in the forum.
It's remarkable that you tend to protest so vehemently against the use of silver for audio applications, but seem to enjoy a wire that presents a very silver-sounding sonic signature.
#1 He asked for a BUDGET option and I gave him one. VH products tend to be very expensive. Nothing implied that it sounds better than your suggestion. #2 IMHO silver used in the power supply is not bright or glarey or unnatural as it can be or is in the signal path. Nothing remarkable about it. #3 I don't protest vehemently about the use of silver in the signal path by others. It can or does things that I personally don't like. Like maybe adding a little extra sparkle like you mentioned silver solder could do. Not only do I personally don't want a little extra sparkle in my stereo I don't think I want any sparkle. When I listen to live music I don't hear sparkle hardly if at all. What sparkles? Maybe I'm missing something. If others like the sound of a particular silver product in the signal path it's fine with me. Tweaker
