Best DIY power cable. Why not make?


Ok perhaps I don't get it.  You have hot, neutral, ground and connectors.  I am looking for advise from those that have found the secret sauce in making power cables or at least those that have had great success.  With all the quality cable and connectors why not make your own?  I refuse to pay $2,000 plus for a power cable that would take a hour to build.  I am seeking your guidance and suggestions.  Thanks!

Soundstage and dynamics are the first victims of a lessor power cord, only because they are the most obvious upon first listen. Clarity, detail retrieval, coherence, etc. all follow suit. It's like something is holding it all back. 
Haha okay you got me. I’ll see if my dealer will let me audition a ...power cable. But I’ll be ready to believe anything if I hear the slightest difference. If not I’m going back to my coat hangers!
