Power Cable components

[Stu_Mack]

Hi all


I have the hair-brained idea to make up my own power cables, as I am still running on either the supplied power cable, or PC power cables.
I am running SA spec plugs, so would like to keep with those, so I assume a decent quality Ellies surge plug is fine for that end.

Now for the cable and the IEC plug end of the cable. I have no idea on who makes these bits and pieces to be able to DIY some power cables.
Which brands should I be looking for, are they available locally or am I better off getting Amazong to bring them in?

Speak to @PAPPA3, he was selling IEC plugs and should also be abke to help with good quality cable.

Go to an electric wholesaler and get good 3 core cable and plugs. Some even has screened 3 core cables.
The price should be reasonable.

Belden makes very good electric cable, RS should stock it.

Stu if you go with shielded cables may I suggest you compare the sound with it "activated" and not (my definition here being that the source side shield is connected to earth, it probably means other things)
