I have now made it..........kind of..............

The Caroll cable is no longer available at Home Depot. In driving around town to various Home Depots the 10/3 available seems to be different at different locations. They have both a 300V and a 600V 10/3 available. The 300V is thinner and seems to have a thinner outer cover, just perfect. One location had Chinese sourced and the other American. I picked the later. Cost is $1.76 per foot.
IEC is the Shurter 4782.0100 and I didn't have any P&S 5266 left, so I used the yellow plug sold at Harbor Freight, and most definitely Chinese in origin. These cost $3.00 each on sale and sound excellent. I skipped the ferrite as I am dubious about using them, and I wanted to get a base line, and maybe try one later. I have a whole box of them.
I agree with your reservations, and if I were going to be moving the cord around lots, I would think twice, but under the circumstances, I am comfortable.....or woefully ignorant, take your pick.
Sound wise, I have only compared it into my PLC. Compared to an Asylum Cord, exact original recipe, it seems to have tighter and more extended bass, the midrange focus is a hair better and the highs are nicely integrated. I need to listen more but IMHO and in my system, I prefer it. YMMV.
