It's time to get some real power cords in my system. I have had some VH Audio Flavor 3 & 4's in my system but am looking to build my own this time.
What do I look for and where do I get it?
I need a high quality DIY AC Cable with an excellent Conductor material, insulation material, and construction.
I’m just learning, but “I think†these are some of the qualities I’m looking for…
*OCC High Purity Copper Wire
*12 AWG Solid Core or the fewer strands the better
*good insulation such as Teflon or better
*high quality shields for noise rejection and avoid EMI / RFI
*The Cryogenic and Demagnetizing Process is interesting if it works
***What else should I be looking for?***
Here are some products and websites I found so far:

I’m also interested in just the bulk wire with insulation and covers separate, etc and would like to find a source on these as well.
Am I off my rocker? Am I heading in the right direction?
Any information you guys can give me would be appreciated!
Thank you!
