Does anyone know of a good cheap DIY power cable that I could give a try?

    PE has a 'kit', but check out the Signal Cable cord first, nothing can touch it at *twice* the price, and I doubt you could 'throw' one together for what he (Frank Dai) charges.

    Mention Club Polk, get a (albiet small) discount.

    agreed with Russ, but in case you want to build one, here's a good reading:

    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    I thought about the Signal cable. I'll make a stop in a read up again.

    Just started reading this.

    I think this dude's silver interconnects are pretty well rated.

    Thanks for link, no time to read now. Bedtime soon. ;)

    Yeah, tell Frank you heard about his cable from Club Polk (and that you're a member and want the discount) and he'll drop 5% off of the total price (before S+H). Not very much, but it pays for the shipping and lets you get 2 day delivery (if you wish) at the price of ground :D Frank has excellent service, high quality products and excellent prices. I doubt you could do a DIY cable at a cheaper price than what he offers.
    Damn....8 lines...I've gotta put my sig on a diet now....
