if money is "enough", then everything in the house would be using super-duper expensive acrolink power cords....
but alas!!! we all live in the real world and so i can only stick to buying multiple acrolink 4030 and one acrolink 6100 power cords in the audio system...... no super-duper expensive stuff for me ..
then how about the video system in the living room????? hhmmmm......
well since money is not enough, i have to make do with belden power cords....... this time round, i bought enough to make AC cables for the MJ subwoofer, sony ps3, mio set top box and hubstation.......... which meant 4 x MK plugs, 2 x IEC plug, 2 x figure 8 plug and 6 metres of belden cables........
all on DIY as LHS was way toooooo busy yesterday........
black oh black belden AC cables....
MK plug exposed.....
stripping and preparing the internal conductors......
bare ends all tightly clamped.... one tip: remove all the brass plug-ends before trying to connect the ends..... once OK, push them back into position.... so much easier.....
for the IEC plugs, there is no need to solder anything as all ends are made by clamping...... but for figure 8, one has to resort to soldering.....
my trusty WBT silver solder.............
figure 8 connectors exposed......
ready to solder...........
i would have made one for the TV if not for the captive power cord.......... EEEKKSS!! what a pity........!!!
