Doing the Power Cord Thing

Hey everyone,

So as you all know, I'm a DIY kind of guy when it comes to cables and speakers. I'll be building a new power cable using affordable parts from Parts Connexion and DH Labs:

and

They'll look nice, at least! :)


Testing will occur on the very last, new, Luxman 507ux in the United States.Will I hear anything at all? Or will this be just a wasted hour and wasted $100 assembling a cable?

Its always funny to make your own things.  And better when they work close to your expectations.  Did they do the cryo thing back in the 90's?

Curious if there is agreement that if Erik built a power cord using the same exact wire and end pieces as a ready to buy PC, that it would sound identical to the ready to buy PC?

Erik, I'm curious if you ever actually tried the factory cord. I think Luxman supplies a pretty good one, I'd be interested to know how it compares.
