My First DIY Power Cable


Thinking of trying my first DIY power cable.  Would like to keep it under couple hundred $$.  Looks like it could be done with products from the Furutech site.  Any other resource recommendations?

Another great option for connectors are IeGO IEC's and Edison plugs.  Take a peek: https://alexsoundtech.com/iego/materials-technology

I have found them to sound better than their Furutech or Oyaide counterparts.

Silver is crazy expensive but sound very, very good.  Their gold, silver and rhodium devices use Furukawa copper and offer great performance at a competitive price.

I did DIY for all my power cables with Furutech components from thecableco. I bought heat shrink tubing and sheathing from Amazon. They turned out great. I was able to make each cable the exact length it needed to be. On average they were about $175 each I estimated. FWIW

I like the looks of those Iego plugs and I also like how most of their verbiage seems focused on materials, manufacturing processes, and performance instead of the pseudo-technological jargon I see from some other manufacturers of audio products.

I had a hard time figuring out where/how to purchase those plugs based on the website information. There doesn’t seem to be much information out there on Iego. Through a Google search, I finally found them on Amazon and it seems Alex Sound Technology has a new Amazon Store site. Alex Sound Technology is apparently located in Windermere, Florida, near Orlando, but I couldn’t find much information about them. Are they newer? Have you purchased from them? I would definitely try the Iego plugs and will probably go ahead and order some from the Amazon site.

Mitch2, yes I have bought from them.  They shipped quickly and were packed well. Furutech was my go to before, but I'm really liking the IeGO.  Their pure copper plugs sound way better than the Furutech copper plated beryllium copper plugs.

OK , I think I am a bit overwhelmitized 🤔  with all the choices. 

 

Thanks for the responses
