Power Cable DIY - Please advise

@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

I'm fascinated by this discussion.

Do people favor Square D, Cutler Hammer, or other brands of circuit breakers?

What about Connecting Caps that the builder may have on the run of mass produced everyday wire they pulled to your outlet? 

Are people cryo-treating the breakers? Are those known to affect the high, low or mid frequencies most?

You'd think it was April First here in Audiogon.

Not a believer.... But fun reading!
