I sent an email to Furutech now and asked them if their copper is alloyed
Question about assembling my own DIY AC Cable
Hi
I am about to assemble my first DIY AC Power cables for the first time. I chose the Yarbo SP-1100W as cable and Viborg connectors.
Connectors:

Cable:
I was looking through some guides on youtube how to assemble it and I found this video from Furutech and as you can see they separate each conductor in 2 branches. I don't understand why they are doing that, does anybody know why? Should I do that as well for my power cable?
Cheers

I agree with @audphile1 @erik_squires @jea48 - don’t overthink it. You are almost surely plugging the plug into a wall receptacle or power conditioner with brass, phosphor bronze, or beryllium copper contacts, and depending on what was used in your amplifier, you are probably plugging the IEC into an inlet with one of those same materials, unless either the designer used a higher level Furutech IEC inlet or you upgraded it. Furutech apparently uses copper connectors in their upper level products, as shown here. |
