Aluminium Oxide filled Flavor Power Cable

When I was back to HK in April, I bought 3 feet of VH Audio Flavor power cord (star-quad, 4X12 awg copper wires). The wire only has a very think insulation and is tightly twisted, which I think this is most suitable for making sand-filled power cord.{:1_253:}

I had a Flavor power cord years ago.This is a very clear and dynamic power cord. Let see how it will wound with sand filled{:1_352:}

Here are some photos:
Put in heat shrink and sealed the end:

Filled with sand, sealed both ends, going to connect to Furu F11 and Hubbel IEC:

As each leg is so thick (9 awg altogether with 2 wires), something has to be done so that they can be inserted into the hole of the plugs{:1_247:} . Will post more photos later{:1_245:}

After more than three hours' work, the sand-filledFlavor 4 was born{:1_343:}

Because the legs are so thick, I finally chose Vimar and Furutech IEC plugs.

It replaced the diy Neotech OCC solid copper power cord.

As the cord is so heavy, I need to support it with something.{:1_352:}

師兄用咁多PU cushion 頂線，效果怎樣？
有冇諗過用車D大大小小環保袋、內盛AL Oxide, 頂得又壓得之餘，係咪有調校之便呢？

您要條新power cable咁辛苦竪係個Furutech dist box面，不如考慮用中途插midway conn 理順排線，會唔會好D 呢？

The plug was made by "Eagle", very nicely looking one. I bought it from a home hardware last year.That was the last one there .{:1_253:}

The cord was DH power cable.May be I should redo it by sand-filled. {:1_343:}
