I have made several types over the years.

My best results have generally come from using Chris Ven Haus' designs, sometimes with off the shelf materials (very cheap and easy!) and sometimes with his or other commercial materials (superior and not necessarily cheap).
For amps I recommend a version of his Flavor 4. For other devices, take your pick of his other designs depending upon shielding (don't use for analog, but generally good for digital) and grounding scheme (2 or 3 pin plug system).
While you can quickly and cheaply make one out of THHN and a good P&S plug from your hardware store, using better wire (Ven Haus makes great wire) that's cryoed and better plugs (Furu or Oyaide, if you can afford them), brings much better results. You WILL know the difference.
But then, you'll often know the difference from stock PCs with virtually any upgrade of quality, DIY or commercial.
