In Reply to: RE: Best DIY power cords? posted by samoore on December 17, 2011 at 12:14:16
I used to make my own cords.. The cost of the parts for plugs, then any wire better than stock off the hardware store shelf stuff is high too.
Zero resale value..
I bought a pile of Pangea cords and never looked back.
The Shunyata Venom 3 is also a good well received powercord.
So for about the saame price you can try one of those.

to a point.
Once you get into top quality connectors, conductors etc.... you can save money versus the same quality that's available commercially.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Here you go. If I can assemble five homemade power cords without burning my house down (been two years!) and get great sound, so can you. Trust me. The answer is that nobody makes better power cord wire than this stuff; http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/index.php?p=catalog&mode=search&search_in=name&search_str=lorad
The wire is far more important than the connectors. My advice is to skip Oyaide and the like, and go with base model Furutech (still not cheap). I tried my hand at shrink tubing and did only a midling job so my cables are not much to look at, but I am sure you could do better.
Yep the newest diamondback can compete with the great majority of brand new priced cords to $800 ....and though at the time I auditioned one of these cords in my system to evaluate them for friends , who did buy several each, I might compare it to something like the VH Audio Airsine, not as good mind you but approaching some of it's sonics
