FWIW I recently made up a 3 meter Viborg VP1606 Power Cable for my amplifier. It's been written about here. It's about 9.5 AWG, and because of that it's stiff and a bit tough to work with, but reasonably priced so worth the effort. I let it break in by running my computer for a few weeks. It's a clear improvement over a Supra cable I was using.
Follow Ups:
In what ways was the Viborg VP1606 differ from Supra? It's so difficult to DIY power cords, especially large AWG, that don't obscure the treble and midrange clarity with quantity/quality of bass..
Nothing jaw-dropping, but there are worthwhile improvements. The main improvement is slightly in the direction of what AC conditioning should do. A bit more clarity all over, probably as a result of some noise reduction in the line. I'm guessing better shielding than the Supra. There certainly is a lot of shielding in the Viborg.
The Supra is, I think, 13 AWG. My AC cable is long and my woofers are only 7" so I use a sub. I am getting a bit more out of those small woofers now. I had the SW XO set higher than I'd like, so I can make a small adjustment for the better.
As usual YMMV.
