Building a Power Strip, any advise?

Mil spec silverplated copper is GREAT wire.
I had a 600 ft roll of teflon coated mil spec 12 gauge a few years ago and i wish i had bought several of them.

I currently use a set of dual quad twist of that 12 gauge wire from a 20 amp single duplex on its own breaker in my kitchen 35 ft to the stereo. I wrapped each quad with plumbers teflon to tighten the wrap. Then a pair of 12 gauge grounds between the dual quads.. all rapped up with heavy plumbers teflon. (some blue australian teflon tape at Menards)
Works great to my two power conditioners...

I like your idea of a variety of duplex in the strip.
Then you can contrast and compare!!
And if one or two really shine.. Swap out the not so great ones later.
Good luck.

Leave enough space for oversized wall warts.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
Br3098, since I have many hi end power cords that are not UL approved I guess I have already crossed that line.

Elizabeth, it sounds like I do have the same wire, thanks for the approval. That is my plan to try various outlets.

Unsound, I hear ya about those pesky wall warts but at this time they need not apply. The Junction boxes that I have ordered are of a heavy grade aluminum that already has cut outs for the outlets and they will run perpendicular to the power strip.

Elizabeth, I'm trying to understand your quad twist. Are you saying you are using 4 12 ga wires that are twisted together and then connected to each connection on the outlet? If so, wouldn't that be like a 3 ga aggregate and how the heck would you connect that much wire to an outlet?
I must be missing something.

Ozzy, Cryoparts sells some nice readymade powertstrips at very reasonable prices as far as high end power strips go. By the time you buy a high quality non-ferrous enclosure and add up the cost of receptacles, power inlet and wiring, your total cot could be as much or greater than what Cryoparts is asking for the readymade item.
