Have 2 versions of Alan Maher's DIY power cords I'm using and both are very good indeed. Easy to make, very light on the wallet. You can upgrade the parts if you like, but it's the geometry that's the key. I used both his "dual twisted" (4 wires, 2 grounds one + and one -, with each ground twisted around each of the + -, then the two twisted pairts are shotgunned) in THHN, also his 4 braid in mil-spec teflon jacketed silver plated copper. The latter is harder to find, but the geometry works with THHN also. THHN is cheap as dirt at your local hardware store.Look up audionutge or Alan Maher or "Perfect power cord" in the archives here for details and reviews.
