Power Cable DIY - Please advise

I wouldn't worry about timing - electricity hasn't changed.  The wires I use are probably 40 years old!

Based on my experience, I would probably consider the Flavor 4 for power amps only, and not for front end gear.  The conductors are 12 awg so two per pole results in a hefty 9 awg per pole.

I would probably look at the Furutech  FP-3TS20 for front end gear.  The  Furutech FP-Alpha 3 is also good for power amps.  As others have mentioned, the Neotech cords are not bad either and I also have a couple of them, made with Furutech plugs/iecs.  I would probably not shield PCs used for power amps, and maybe not even those used with preamps.  Definitely use shielded cables with your digital gear.

I have built several cords and used several premade budget cables from AudioQuest, Shunyata and IsoTek. My current favorite, and not by a small margin, is a DIY unit using the new Nanotec #308 "Wonderful" Power Cable and Furutech FI-11 G connectors. I got connectors off eBay and the wire here:

The #308 is a new wire made with some metallurgy tricks and is not shielded but I find works equally well with amplifier and digital source. I am currently using with Main Cables R Us linear power supply upgraded with Furutech rhodium IEC outlet, Furutech rhodium fuse and silver DC cable driving an Arcam IrDAC. The Nanotec #308 was a revelation with no apparent weaknesses.

In fact I like the sound of Nanotec continuously cast wires with the silver-gold emulsion so much I’m using their rca interconnects for both analog and digital front ends in my main system.

True that electricity hasn’t changed, but ways to combat harsh emi/rfi conditions are much better than what they used to be a decade ago. Furutech has got some serious data related to this topic, no doubt they are one of the world leaders when it comes to audiophile cabling at a relatively affordable price.

yes, I do intend to use the Flavor 4 for power amps...

The Furutech FP-alpha 3 has been superseded by the FP TCS31...
