Mains Power Cable DIY

I'd like to DIY a main power supply to my system.
I'd like to do this in two or three stages
1st to build a power cable from the wall to my amp
2nd to build a mians distribution for all the gear

And 3rd: I'm waiting to renovate my condo.
At that time I'll have a primary circuit from the panel to stereo run
If anyone can offer their experience and specific details I'd much appreciate it
Currently I'm running an old "gang box" ....something I made during my construction days. Tonight I took the wall socket apart , cut it back and reconnected everything and there was a fair difference in what I heard.
I'm specifically looking at wire sizes and recommendations for shielding and what it all looks like. TIA. Appreciate your experiences

The mc cable would be excellent from the breaker to the wall outlets at your system, and maybe better than Romex due to the shielding.

I have never used the Black Mamba PC but I do have a pair of 2M Oyaide Tunami v2 cords (10awg+) here for my mono amps. Changed my set-up and no longer need 2M cords so am using much shorter Furutech FP Alpha cords (11awg) with Oyaide P079/C079 connectors.  They both sound good.  The Oyaide cords are stiff.

BTW, is your avatar a Belgian Malinois?  My wife and I have enjoyed having 6 different husky’s here over the years but it is about time for another dog and we have been interested in a Malinois.  The stubbornness, energy, and intelligent alertness seem to be shared traits but the Malinois is probably a bit more protective.

This is Hudson Shepherd (he has a fakebook page I use semi-anonymously to keep up with family/relatives). We got him as a stray/rescue 5-1/2 years ago. He’s pretty much 100% GSD (German Shepherd Dog) but with a longer coat and features closer to Altdeutsche Schaeferhund, what we call in the states “Alsatian” - based on a much older breed. Thanks for asking.
