RE:
Pehaps that is the case in his design - however ...
- if you take a 12 gauge extension cable from home depot
- remove the outer sleeve i.e. extract the conductors
- braid the conductors togther and attach IEC/mains plugs
The braided cable will actually outperfrom Furutech 10 gauge bulk cables that have just had Connectors installed at each end
- improved image, bass depth and dynamic performance
I have observed significant improvements on my system using braided PC's - but the HELIX design is by far the best.
A friend just went through the Home Depot braiding exercise on his guitar amp and reported significant improvements over his stock cables.
I also use a braided power cable on my bass amp
- HUGE IMPROVEMENT!
- deeper bass with much more control

Garth Powell is on record (see below) that the braided design is not for sound quality, but only to make the cable flexible
