DIY AC cable...which bulk cable?

I am thinking about making a DIY AC cable for my linear power supply (19v, 6amps) feeding my music server PC. From looking at the VH Audio site, there are several options for bulk wire, which would you choose and why?

12 AWG unshielded twisted pair (Chris Venhaus Flavor 2 cable) ($6/ft)
Acrolink 7N-P4030 10AWG ($61/ft)
Neotech NEP-3001 10 AWG ($35/ft)
Oyaide Tunami ($30/ft)

Thank you.

Haven't tried spades yet, but I did improve the connection of the stranded copper wires from Furutech into Furutech power plugs.

Simply twisting the strands together using pliers(clockwise-counterclockwise,you decide)made for an almost solid core wire connection.

The wire is now firmly locked into the connector.

Probably not news to most folks here.

Furutech also offers a number of bulk AC cables worth considering.

Taboooe, Oyaide Tsunami, is just too stiff very awkward to bend and twist, I have used it exclusively until now but I've switched to Nanotech, also 10 gauge, not shielded, but good quality copper with gold and something else (nano) embedded. Terminated with Furutech Rhodium I think it sounds good, possibly a little warm. For it's size very flexible. The trick is getting all the wires into the plug!!!
