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.

You think that getting a good sound is just putting a wire and connectors together than you live in a stoneage.
Uh, that’s how cable companies start, and short of the folks using special network boxes or maybe special cold weld connection techniques, most of them are doing exactly that....putting wire/cable and connectors together.  I have been inside of more than a few well respected cables and as long as you can get the same wire and connectors you can achieve the same result.  It is far from the rocket science those companies would have us think it is.  The wire/dielectric/geometry combination needed to achieve the desired sound is probably the most difficult part and yes there is a lot of research put into that by some well respected companies but, you can easily purchase the exact connectors used in multi-thousand dollar cables so, if you can get the wire in bulk....
