Power Cable DIY - need advice

Hi,

I have purhcased Oyaide 037 male and IEC connectors and need to purchase AC cable to finish my power cables.

Any recommendations on what AC cable to purchase?

I'll probably use these two AC cables on my Theta Enterprise mono amps.

Thanks.

Depends on your budget.

Chris VenHaus (VH Audio) seems to have a selection of the raw material. From the more modest to the very expensive.

Yes,
I've been studying the VH website.

I don't want to spend much more than $100 per meter.

I that case, I recommend the Oyaide Tunami bulk wire for $84.99/meter.

Member Stringreen says the Acrolink bulk wire is superior, but I have not heard it. It costs $134.99/meter.

I own two Oyaide Tunami GPX power cords that use the Tunami wire. These cords have replaced Cardas Golden Reference power cords on my Pass Labs amplifiers, and I have ordered a third to try elsewhere in my system. I am impressed with the sound these cords create.

Thanks TVAD,

Anyone out there compared the Oyaide Tunami and the Acrolink?
