Ugly?
Most people freak out when they see such things
I guess most people have not seen one.
I made this one from scratch (single wire) TRUE VH Style power cable!

Any idea how hard this is to do with the external ground and all?

My sister freaked out when she saw it and said it looked like a snake!:eek:

VR3 you watching this?

Ugly or Beautimus in your eyes?

I double heatshrinked this one just to show off!:lol:

    I'd hit it...as long as it didn't have a lap dog. Hate those things!

    LOL, looks like my garden hose :wink:. Actually not my style, but for someone with Audioquest Copperhead or Columbia IC's it would match them quite well.

    Am I wrong in saying......Does it really matter how it looks since it will be mostly hidden behind your gear? I mean if you bring home a date. Are you gonna say hey babe, look at my nice cable? Ain't it long and totally bada$$? :cheesygrin:

    The sheathing resembles cheap, drugstore variety, garden hose thats been in the sun too long. Perhaps a different color would be less outdoorsy looking. Nice work BTW !:cheesygrin:

    Actually looks rad IMO. My girlfriend loves green and would love these.

    You should get in the business of all things power cable and power supply related. :p

    Before I weigh in, I gather that this is "your" creation? Right?

    Heavy duty power cords just remind me of the many times I've been on friend's movie sets, where, let's face it, you're running tens of 1000s of watts of lights and you "really" need cords that look like snakes...and they do!

    WTH....it's ugly? It ain't a diamond, it ain't gold, it ain't a Monet.....it's a CABLE! lol

    Does it's "ugliness" make it perform or sound any worse?

    Peppy......send that sumbitch to me. I'll give it a good home. :mrgreen:

    Looks like it would match the power cable you sold me for my subwoofer and would go great with my new cd player... send it to Denver! Thanks in advance.
