Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables?


I love making cables for my guitars, amps etc. and I want to build two+ cables for my Mac pre and my future power amp... any thoughts?

I think your cables are a1+ Grannyring.
You don't need mine, I'm just lazy and can't  be bothered to twist them all together!
Stuff I use is maybe overkill and might not be for all tastes for sure.

I bought some of that wire to try for power cords when it was released and forgot about it. You just reminded me of it. I'll give it a try. How many twists do you do (i.e. how many per inch or per foot)? Is it just slightly twisted, or as much as you can, or somewhere in the middle?
Thank you!
I made two power chords, one for my amp and one for my pre-amp. Used Belden 83803 wire I think, and some nice connectors from Parts Express. The only thing I have to compare to are the stock ones McIntosh provided. The Belden wire I used is kind of pricey but looks like it’s very well shielded, although it’s very stiff.
The twist on the Duelund is about every 2 inches and falls naturally.  Just a natural comfortable twist should give you this. Do this....

- be sure to twist the ground in the opposite direction of the twisted live and neural pair. The ground will end up being twisted about every 3-4 inches as is sort of rests naturally down the length of the twisted pair. 
- be sure to cut the ground several inches longer to accommodate the twist. 
- be sure the print on each of the wires reads from wall plug to iec plug.
