I have no issues with making my own cables.
What do you recommend?

Acoustic Revive Power Standard tripleC 8800 bulk power cord terminated with gold-plated copper Viborg VM503G AC plug and gold-plated copper Viborg VF523G 20A IEC connector would be an outstanding option for a DIY power cord project for less than $250. I use the 8800 terminated with gold Oyaide 079 AC connectors as the power cord for the power distribution of my computer workstation system and think very highly of it. I'm certain it would be an excellent match for the Oyaide R1 AC outlet and your AC delivery system.
The Acoustic Revive bulk power cord can be purchased directly from Japan via eBay:

The way to purchase the particular combination of Viborg AC connectors is via AliExpress from a dependable seller who sells the 15A AC plug and 20A IEC connector separately, since there are no sources that sell them as a set:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/934531229.html
I'll look into making this.
I wish stuff from AliExpress arrived sooner than the damn near a month or so ir's taken each time I've made a purchase.
Thanks, again.

I ordered that Viborg 503 gold plated cu male plug on Aug 5 and it has been in the USA for a couple of days now. Much faster than I expected. Hope it sounds good. The plating on the copper is first silver and then gold. I suspect this is a better sounding plug that others that use nickel on top of copper before the gold.

The Viborg VM503G sounds very good, indeed. The only multi-plated AC connector with a nickel substrate is made by Wattgate, with a brass base metal. The Viborg VM503G with a copper base metal, and a silver substrate under the gold plating does no harm to my ear. In my experience, it sounds like the unplated copper Viborg AC connectors, but a bit more smooth and laid-back. Not too lush sounding, which is a good thing.
The SonarQuest gold plated copper are first plated with nickel I am told. That's why I decided to go with the Viborg 503.

Perhaps SonarQuest is copying Wattgate.
I hear you, AudioDwebe. I consider any purchase from China, either through eBay, AliExpress, and even many Chinese sellers on Amazon.com to be special order purchases. Either the low-price is so good I'm willing to wait for it, or there is no other way to purchase an item. Unless DHL is involved in the shipment, everybody should exercise patience when buying directly from China.
Cheers, Duster
