DIY AC cable...which bulk cable?

Tboooe - I think you misunderstood - I found the home depot cable to be as effective as the furutech cable, but only in this instance

So, for computer power cables I think you can used a much cheaper cable.

My findings for all my other hi-fi components was exactly the opposite - quality power cords are essential as you well know

Have you considered bulk cable from DH Labs Silver Sonic? They have two different power cord options, and I've read good things about the Power Plus cable at $8/ft. Thinking of doing some DIY cords too, but still undecided.

Heyimderrick - FYI you can also find the Red Wave cable in bulk on ebay - source is in the UK

Howver the price is up there with all the other "established" brands, so I think I would go for them first

Also - beware of fakes - I've seen Acrolink 6n for $20/half meter on ebay - seems a little too good to be true? Sourced in Hong Kong :-)

I've also tried DH Labs Power Plus and Encore and like you found them both to be very good - but my Favourite is still Furutech.

Back to the tunes

In my experience the cable itself is far less important than the connectors.

I agree that the connectors make the difference in power cords.

I run direct 10 guage solid core romex from my breaker to the gear and found that the pricier Furutech gave better sound than the cheaper copper entry level IEC connectors.

I suggest you try the best connectors you can with some soild core #10 romex before you spend the big bucks.
