My First DIY Power Cable

Thinking of trying my first DIY power cable. Would like to keep it under couple hundred $$. Looks like it could be done with products from the Furutech site. Any other resource recommendations?

Focus on good conductors, good connectors and secure connections... Lots of knowledge from Steve and the other folks. I have used both Viborg and SonarQuest. Both are very good. Even though I prefer silver over pure copper, I have no issues using rhodium based connectors. Nice Easter sale going on at partsconnexion, so may be a good time to pick up more DIY stuff...

Red - line Black - neutral Yellow - ground Although, each wire/conductor is 19.5 AWG. This is very solid cable. Prices have actually dipped below $100 at times... https://smile.amazon.com/Viborg-Audiophile-MTR-VP1501-Multplex-Connector/dp/B07RB15YPH?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

I have two cables so could be an interesting eval... Plus they are terminated with fork terminals for easy/secure connections. Marty
