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.

@jtucker Take a look at this design-

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

Good Luck with you cables - Steve

The Waudio PC’s is where I started my cable journey. I found them to be a tremendous value.
