Anyone made the "Bob Crump" home-made powercord?

While i haven't tried one of the DIY ( Do It Yourself ) Power cords that Bob "designed", i have tried several of his other ( TG Audio ) manufactured cords with good success. While the "DIY" cable is VERY different in design, there is no reason that it should not function quite well as it uses high quality parts.

I have built dozens of the IC's that Hueske makes mention of. They are PHENOMENAL for the money involved. Depending on how elaborate you want to get on cosmetics and the RCA connectors that you use, you can build a 3' stereo pair for well under $30.

I would encourage ANYBODY that can follow simple directions and is not afraid to try soldering to take a stab at doing some of these or other similar DIY projects. The results, sound, pride and savings will make you a FIRM believer in "Do It Yourself" audio once and for all. Sean

The "Absolute" is NOT cheaper ( all things taken into consideration ) if you build it yourself. This is especially true if you stick to the basics ( IEC connector, raw cord & power plug ) without adding anything fancy. The fact that you can make a cord to the specific length that you want also adds to the versatility and benefits of a DIY design.

The fact that Bob "donated" the basic "blueprint" for this cable demonstrates that, while being a professional in the business, he is not afraid to lend a helping hand and share his knowledge & experience with those willing to learn. Kudos to Bob and other "down to earth" Professionals like him. Things like this simple "tweak" and display of "sharing" are one of the FEW things that help to recruite newcomers to what is an otherwise overpriced and typically "stuffed shirt" industry. Sean
