Best DIY power cable. Why not make?

I may try your recipe for the next one.  So far, I'm using a variation of a VH Audio recipe: hot and neutral in a twisted pair, surrounded by the ground wire in a counter-spiral.  For shielding, that bundle is slipped inside a braided copper tube that is grounded at the pronged plug and floated from the IEC plug.  These PCs are killers with Furutech FI-48 ends.  For the next one I'm trying the new Oyaide AP-and AC-004 connectors.  The Oyaides are more economical and look well designed.

Nanotec Systems #308 wire and Furutech FI-11 connectors make a nice PC at reasonable cost. Add a few pennies worth of black heat shrink tubing to the ends for a professional look.

Nothing but solid-core for the last 30 years in my system, no tiny threads like AQ/Nordost or whatever

Sorry to revive this thread but you mention soldered spades for the internals of the connectors and IMO that makes a lot of sense and, frankly, would give me more piece of mind on my first DIY PC (Furutech Alpha 3 11AWG cable; furu 90 deg male end, wattgate IEC end). I'm excited to put it together but want to do it right. Question is, what are good quality spades that would fit inside those connectors?

Next update to my room will be the Furu NCF outlet, cooked preferably.
