@ Bruno,
an alternative to the Milspec wire would be the Jantzen Audio 2x2,5sqmm or 3x 1,3sqmm copper silverplated PTFE wire, which you can order from audiophonics.fr.
There you can order as well the Neotech solid core OCC 18AWG in PTFE. Much more cost effective than the VH Audio wire.
I am a Long Time User of VH Audio wires, mainly the solid silver in cotton for interconnects.
But shipping cost, Tax and VAT make them really expensive when landed at your place.
This is the reason, why I swopped to the french site. Their prices are the most attractive in Europe.
For a power cord I think the Neotech is as good as the VH Audio wire, specially in PCs as the solid PTFE insulation is more robust.
I put the 3 runs 18AWG Neotech in a 6mmx0,6 Teflon tube (ordered from Conrad) and this into a 10mm PVC tube to keep a certain space to the outer neutral coil.
The coiling obviously keeps best with solid core wires. Therefore you can use for the neutral as well some solid core wires. For ground wire I used standard yellow/Green 1,0 or 1,5sqmm solid core wire from the Home Depot market.
