My First DIY Power Cable

@mitch2 You really know about Oyaide power cords. I like them and their plugs along with Furutech.

However in the value stakes I think Oyaide have it. I have an Oyaide R1 wall socket which is Beryllium Copper, the top Furutech is double the price.

Oyaide market their VONDITA Xe cord as a power (amp) type cord but I've found it's extremely detailed. Putting any power cord on my master clock reveals a lot. It was far too detailed (read harsh) for my master clock.

It's since found it's place on my ethernet optical fiber box, on which it does a wonderful job.

The various Helix DIY recipes are great, I've tried various Oyaide, Furutech and Neotech recipes over the years, Helix with VH Audio AIrLock are winners at present.

Another great option for connectors are IeGO IEC's and Edison plugs.  Take a peek: https://alexsoundtech.com/iego/materials-technology

I have found them to sound better than their Furutech or Oyaide counterparts.

Silver is crazy expensive but sound very, very good.  Their gold, silver and rhodium devices use Furukawa copper and offer great performance at a competitive price.

I did DIY for all my power cables with Furutech components from thecableco. I bought heat shrink tubing and sheathing from Amazon. They turned out great. I was able to make each cable the exact length it needed to be. On average they were about $175 each I estimated. FWIW

I like the looks of those Iego plugs and I also like how most of their verbiage seems focused on materials, manufacturing processes, and performance instead of the pseudo-technological jargon I see from some other manufacturers of audio products.

I had a hard time figuring out where/how to purchase those plugs based on the website information. There doesn’t seem to be much information out there on Iego. Through a Google search, I finally found them on Amazon and it seems Alex Sound Technology has a new Amazon Store site. Alex Sound Technology is apparently located in Windermere, Florida, near Orlando, but I couldn’t find much information about them. Are they newer? Have you purchased from them? I would definitely try the Iego plugs and will probably go ahead and order some from the Amazon site.
