Best Bulk Cable

I've built a bunch of power cables. Here are some choices you might consider.
For amps I have used Neotech NEP-3001 & Furutech FP-Alpha 3.
For source I have used Neotech NEP-3002 & NEP-3003. For source I suggest shielded, for power you can go either way.
All the Neotech cables listed above are shielded, the Furutech is not.

I've tried various AC terminations but have settled on Furutech FI-11 for male ends, FI-11G for slightly warm and FI-11R for more neutral. The blades are plated copper, gold or rhodium. I like the price to quality ratio on these plus they're heavily built and the cable clamps are not wimpy.

For IEC ends I don't use the Furutechs because the wipers are plated brass and I attempt to minimize brass from the electrical path as much as possible. Try the Iego TI2000 8075 rhodium plated or TI2000 8085 gold, both models are plated copper available from acoustic-fun.com. They are in Taiwan but ship fast. Iago also makes solid silver terminations if you want to get exotic.

Any of the above combinations will give you a premium power cable but requires some work and patience especially the fatty cables 3001 and Alpha-3. The smaller thinner cables are much easier to work with. Make sure everything is hooked up correctly with a volt meter before using and enjoy. 8^)

The IEC sockets in my amp and power strip have been replaced with Furutech gold plated copper sockets. My AC outlets are also copper as are the outlets in the power strip. Haven't changed IECs in DAC or transport because of potential warranty issues.

Elizabeth,
I can't argue with your statements, all true.
However, there are several reasons I tried building DIY cables (although this type of activity is usually not my thing).
1. I enjoy the actual process of building the cables as well as gaining some insight into what is required.
2. Researching various cable and terminations. There is a mind boggling number of both available.
3. Combinations of cable and terminations that would otherwise be unavailable from most commercial sources.
BTW: If a project is beyond my limited capabilities (ICs that require silver solder), I purchase the materials and turn them over to a professional.
Lcherepkai,
Thanks, I may give the Iego 8095 a shot. I've looked at them but never purchased.
