I wish you well in your quest because you can save a fortune making your own cables. I made one for my new Dac a couple of years ago and was very surprised at the quality of it. I then put it up against a JPS Kaptovator that I had and found that I prefered the new one, it had more "life" about it.When I totted up the cost of each I was most surprised, the Kaptovator was£1,500 and the made up cable was £475 with the addition of an SR Blue fuse in each. I have now been going through my system and replacing the existing power wires with my made up ones. Oh and as an aside I have managed to recoup what I spent on the new ones by selling the old ones and getting more than I paid for the components of the new ones.
Doing the Power Cord Thing
Hey everyone,
So as you all know, I'm a DIY kind of guy when it comes to cables and speakers. I'll be building a new power cable using affordable parts from Parts Connexion and DH Labs:

and
https://www.partsconnexion.com/CONNEX-83387.html
They'll look nice, at least! :)
Testing will occur on the very last, new, Luxman 507ux in the United States.Will I hear anything at all? Or will this be just a wasted hour and wasted $100 assembling a cable?
