![]() A DIY performace power cable with excellent results. Will outperform nearly anything commercial$$$$$ |
![]() |
![]() The Cable is 14mm thick. Cut the exterior to expose the insulate layering |
![]() Once the layering is removed there is a high quality copper shielding |
![]() If you are working at the IEC end, then trim the shielding and the drain wire |
![]() Only expose enough bare wire necessary to feed into the Oyaide IEC plug |
![]() Each of the 3 wires are actually 2.6mm. my rule may not have been calibrated |
![]() Before you start putting that IEC on, don't forget the actual case |
![]() At the AC end of the cable, I have cut away a small section of the Earth wire |
![]() It is imperitive to solder the drain wire to the Earth wire to ensure it will not move |
|
![]() Lets be safe and sure.Mark the positive part of the plug with a marker pen. |
![]() I would reherse a couple of times to feel comfortable with what wire goes where! |
![]() Good old aussie plugs, we all need sofening. Plonk into boiling water for 2 mins. US and Euro plugs - just buy the plug and attached wires as with the IEC end |
![]() This is a solid connection as the Oyaide can faciliate heavy duty wire with ease. If you are not comfortable making your own power cord, please ask a qualified electrician for advise & to test your project. The Audiophile Workshop take no responsibility for injury or any similar claims and reccomends that these are illutrative pictures not instructions. |
![]() Once the plug is slid on when hot, be sure to bend it back to hook over the front lip. When plug cools down there is a very nice tight seal. Make sure you dry the plug from the hot water - condensation is still conductive. |

you have it, each cable took me 30 mins.This is a serious
power cord that I made a few months ago. I was a little scepical at
first on power cables, but please let me assure you this;-when make this
cable and implement through out your audio system , you will be very surprised
as I was to hear the improvement in sound quality. In particular I noticed that macro information came through more, soundstage depth and dynamics were all greatly improved. I can only recommend to others actual products and projects that I have personally tried. Mark Andersen N.S.W Australia |
