How do you think this AC power will be?

@todd1010 - that is correct - the braided mil-spec wire will provide better sound than both the DH Labs and Furutech bulk cable.

If you have already purchased the DH Labs wire you can remove the outer sleeve and braid the three conductors for great results. apply some expandable sleeve for a more professional finish.

However - the Helix will provide better results than the braided PC,

If you are braiding the Mil-spec wire I would use the 12 gauge, because 3 x10 gauge mil-spec wires would be a really heft cable.

The Helix geometry allows you to build a thiner Power Cable...
- the live wire is 10 gauge
- the neutral is 2 x 12 gauge wires - combined makes a 9 gauge wire
- the ground can still be a single12 gauge wire
- the neutral and the ground also provides sheilding for the live wire

The ground is only there in the event of a catostrophic component failure, in which case, a breaker (or fuse) will trip. A 12 gauge wire is more than capable of handling this type of event in a home audio system.

The biggest advantage with the Helix is that it eliminates line noise and allows a connected component to work as designed.
- Whereas power cables that adopt a more standard geometry like the DH Labs and Furutech bulk cable  actually introduce noise into the PC.

Cleaner power = Better Sound Quality 

Hope that makes sense - Steve

Great. 

I have ave already ordered and I’m just waiting on the Sonar Quest end plugs. I ordered directly from the main site and have not gotten any information about shipping or anything. 

I order there here and probably paid more than ones on eBay or wherever but I was afraid to buy some knock offs. 

@todd1010 - I always order this pair from this store KAMKAM0770

Never had any issues with his stuff and he is quick

I have been reading your methods on making them from your website and am planning to make them since I have some cables left. I have read around and some do have different gauge sizes for E,L & N. May I know what is the reason having them in different gauge sizes? Also have you tried using smaller gauge size for ground side(thicker size) with L and N using same gauge ? I have tried using same gauge for L & N with doubling up the ground wire by twisting each ground cable to L and N side. It was a very nice improvemnt when i compared to another cable i had that was much more expensive than this diy version.

@tjbhuler  - There is a growing consensus within the "cables community" that having a thicker neutral  than the live/signal provides improvements in sound quality. 

Perhaps the lower resistance of the neutral plays a larger role in the performance of the connected components?

I wanted to test this theory out, so I simply doubled up on the neutral and it worked.

I initially used 12 gauge  for the live/signal and 2 x 12 for the neutral. It outperformed the 1 x 12 neutral  version of the cable.

For the Ground Wire I generally use 12 gauge regardless of size of live/signal (provided the live/signal is not over 10 gauge) because it is required in the event of a catostrophic component failure. There is no need to go to a smaller gauge (thicker) wire for the neutral - it provides no benefit

RE:

I am assuming you twisted one ground around the neutral and another ground around the signal?

It would perform better than store bought cables because it is a Helxi design (variant).

It must have been a pretty thick cable?
- but I do not know if it would provide and benefits over a standard single spiral helix geometry.

Perhaps if you opt for a PC using the standard helix design you could compare them and report back?

The helix design provides the following physical attriibutes
- it is extremly flexible
- it is no thincker than a comparable bulk mains cable of a similar gauge

I have made cables with 18 and 16 gauge wire and they also work very well with the components.

Hope that helps

Glad you are trying the Helix cables - I think you will like the improvements
