Is anyone in the US making power cables like this custom PC cable ad on the Canadian Mart?

An ad on the Canuck Audio Mart for custom made power cables piqued my interest, but the seller only does business in Canada.  He uses what appears to be good quality 10 AWG stranded wire, good Furitech FI-11 plugs, power crimps spades onto the conductors with contact enhancer, and uses top quality sleeving.  His pricing seems very fair as well, but he only accepts EMT from Canadian banks.

Who in the US is making compatible quality, reasonably priced cables like this?  I've read a plethora of threads on power cables here.  I especially like the detail of pneumatically crimping the strands and spade.  This reminds me of the  welded termination that Blue Jean Cables uses on their Canare 4s11 speaker cable terminations (that level of detail, anyway).  Before the suggestion is offered, without the buying power, the wire and plug ends to make these cables, would cost more than the price the seller offers, let alone the contact enhancer, heat shrink, etc.

I've read about Raven Audio, Audio Envy, Clarity Cable, Anticable, and countless others.  I believe in aftermarket, audio grade power cables, so there's no debate.  This is for a second system, and I like the idea of value oriented cables.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your detailed and thoughtful reply.  Even with $10 per foot wire, by the time I bought the spades, contact enhancer, shrink wrap, and even a cheap crimper, I can't make power cords for what that ad is selling them for.  It's not that I'm against making my own, I just thought the seller had put some thought and effort into his construction, and for the price, they'd be worth buying five or six of them to try.  Then I found out, that he only sells in Canada.  So, it made me ask if anyone knows a similar make up at similar pricing, selling in the US.  

I will definitely look in to the stuff you recommend. Thanks again.

You guys are going to get what you pay for. You are better of getting something made professional. You think that getting a good sound is just putting a wire and connectors together than you live in a stoneage.

You also talk about getting six of them. You should buy one for 1k and see what you can hear. You will be amazed. Just buy the best you can afford and forget about DIY.
