Title: Upgraded AC power cables
Post by: Todd R on September 27, 2005, 07:05:35 PM

Thought I'd post this info here, as readers of this forum are probably the most interested in this.

In addition to my silver-clad RCA interconnects and silver-clad speaker cables, I'm now making AC power cables.  These Doghouse VH Power Cables are made based on the venerable Ven Haus power cable design using shielded 12 gauge silver-clad cable stock terminated with Marinco hospital grade plugs and Schurter IECs. 

The Doghouse VH power cables are $60 for up to 4' lengths, including shipping.  More info can be found in my post in the retail section (http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=49744.msg644680#msg644680).

They look good fwiw.  What brand of receptacle and plug are you using there?  Hubbell, Marinco, etc?

My first thought was you need to work on your reading comprehension skills ;), then I realized I need to work on my writing skills. ::)

I edited the original post since I mistakenly said Wattgate plugs.  In fact, I'm using Marinco 8215 hospital grade plugs and Schurter IECs.

This is a VERY good price guys for what you would be getting.  Similar cables would run every bit of 100+.  Good luck, they look great.
