How do you think this AC power will be?

Hi Steve

Thanks for the reply much apprecitate it.

I am assuming you twisted one ground around the neutral and another ground around the signal?

 Yes thats correct, twisting them was quite a pain and hooking them up with the connectors was also quite a challange. 

I will get them done as soon as my ac plugs have arrived. It will definitely be fun doing a comparison with different designs. 

Just giving some updates as to my power cable build. 

I finally received my Sonar Quest end plugs. I made both of my amp power cables susing the DH Labs Red Wave 10guage cable and although it’s a very nicely made cable I like the bulkiness of the cable however I do not like how much stress I got to be on the inside of the end plugs. 

I almost fell its it’s to much wire. The other power wires I made are perfectly fine with how they fit and sit while plugged in. 

I haven’t had had much time to listen to my system since the cable change but I can’t say that it sounds better/worse but I doesn’t hurt to have the power cables or at least decent ones. I’ve rad that I may notice some improvements to equipment that doesn’t have larger more capable power supplies so that’s why I’m still going to make the one for my Bluesound Node 2 which is a different end plug than the IEC. 

This is is why I may just end up making willywonkas helix design. 

The BIG problem with hand braiding is the sloppiness of the uneven  spacing between the wires.   It matters more than the gain from the braiding.  IMO naturally) Taking care when braiding means the wires will perform better. being sloppy means you should not even bother.

I'm putting together my order for making your Helix power cables instead of using my DH Labs stuff. I have one question:

If I'm wanting to make two of them for my mono block power amps in 10 Gauge, should I just replace the live wire you have mentioned in your instruction site to 10 gauge? If you feel this is not necessary and I should just use the 12 gauge mil spec wire for everything then I will. 

@todd1010 - for your mono blocks...
- I would use a single 10 gauge Mil-Spec for the live
-  2 x 12 gauge Mil-Spec for the neutral (i.e. 9 Gauge combined total )
- 1 12 gauge Home depot wire for the ground

WRT the DH Labs cables you have made - they require about 60 hours burn-in before they even staret to sound better than theri initial perofrmance, but it does not get too much better - better dynamics.

If you used Sonar Quest plugs you should have heard better imaging from the start.

Hope That Helps
