Question about assembling my own DIY AC Cable

I have furutech wire and use  there rhodium plated spades to connect to there plugs. It's pretty easily done but it takes longer than you'd expect.  In the video you posted a link to is simply showing you without the spades. When you stab those wires in it's hard to get them all in on both sides of the screw, and some of the shield also has to fit in the ground at the wall end only, I like the spades much better and there way easier to stab. They used to cost around 38 bucks for a 10 pack I believe. The cable went from $480 to over $550 per meter just because they can. 

I love these power cords and have about 6 of them now.

I used bare wire split in two for my Furutech FP-S055n with FI-50 NCF build connecting the wires to clamps. It’s easier to insert and clamp down. Be careful cutting thru insulation to not cut the wires. When you twist the wires I would recommend using contact enhancer or deoxit to remove oils you left with your fingers when you touched the bare wires.

Let us know how you like the viborg.  I haven't seen anything to make me think they are better than other Chinese connectors other than they gave them a name.

TBH, I just bought the Viborg connector that goes to the wall because it was the only one for my country that uses copper for all the components of the conductor. All other brands use brass.

As far as the IEC plug, I admit I chose the Viborg one because it looks really pretty and it's a reputable brand. The conductors are made out of copper and plated with oxygen-free copper, silver, and the final plating with rhodium. It cost me like $35.

The Viborg IEC connectors with plastic housing cost much less and since the interior components are the same, they cost around $23.

There is another Chinese brand called Monosaudio. They also have an aluminum housing IEC with copper conductors and they use 4 different platings: copper, silver, palladium, and rhodium. It is about $7-$10 less expensive.

All the other Chinese brands just use brass and then plate it with gold or rhodium.

I also like SonarQuest rhodium plated connectors. Good quality and they sound good.

Remember that the green gets connected at both ends, but the shield connects to the green wire only at the wall.

PS - I am not a fan of Rhodium plating.  It's not that conductive and it's too hard of a surface which makes it harder to grip well. If you must do rhodium plated plugs consider hospital grade outlets to ensure a tight fit.
