Power Cable DIY - Please advise

@decibell 

well said sir, "Curiosity is the fuel on the way to wisdom ..." let's keep things positive guys. I'm a believer :))

@bcowen 

thank you for your advise, you're right it can get a bit confusing with so many choices and individual opinions. However, I think I'm on the right track with Furutech, Neotech & iego on my shortlist :)

Or should I just purchase a used pair of the VH1 Flavor 4 with Furutech 25 gold connectors and call it a day??

I built his DIY version of that cord using the twisted pair wire he sells and trying both Furutech F1-11 gold and bare copper connectors.  Very nice cord with either connector, but the gold plated Furus were just a little too polite in my application and I preferred the copper.  I still have a slight preference for the bulk Neo-based cord in my system, but if you can get a good price on a used Flavor 4, it would be very hard to go wrong with it.  If you find the gold connectors to be a bit too relaxed or warm sounding, you can always replace them with some copper or rhodium plugs and still save a bundle of money over a sonically comparable big dollar cord.

Someone reports my post at 12-16-2016 (as insulting to Oyaide ?)
Audiogon ERASE it after one day.

A big THANK YOU Audiogon to remind me why I’ve stopped to post 4 years ago!

Dear Dave your next post after the erased is still there looking weird.

Goodbye Audiogon
