I made my own PCs with Furutec components from Cable Co. I bought heat shrink tubing and cable covering from Amazon. I was able to make custom lengths for my five cables. Good luck.
DIY PCs
I am thinking about upgrading my system power cables. First off, I should confess that I am an objectivist and a cable skeptic. That said, I see nothing wrong with a little bling in the cable department. I don't think any of the present PCs are stock, they are lab grade molded connector types suitable for lab test equipment. I will need four PCs: Pass INT-150, Oppo UDP-205, and 2 x ML Montis. I will most likely go DIY and would like to spend around $50 each. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your replies.

I suggest you get one good power cord for starters, for your Pass Labs integrated. You can build it yourself, yes, nothing wrong with it, but not sure the parts alone will cost less than $50 (good parts that is), let alone labor. One of the nice gents in these forums (forgot the name) swears by these Chinese power cords: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202808747120?var=502967448569 They are in your budget, and you don’t have to spend a minute of your time. Or look for a used Shunyata Venom NR v10 or HC. Kudos for having the willingness to experiment and for overcoming your biases |
@jtucker Take a look at this design- http://image99.net/blog/files/be8de0c383c5434907610d6b55049e69-75.html They may appear a little more complex that you would like, but once you wind the first coil it becomes much easier Most of their performance is derived from the Helix Geometry of the cable I made my first Helix cable using the wires from household Romex - to prove the concept - and it performed very well. I then graduated to higher performance wires and plugs Here's a thread that has comments from others that have made them https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/duelund-conversion-to-diy-helix-geometry-cabling Good Luck with you cables - Steve |
