I have built the 2 20 amp power cords, and have 3 15 amp Volex cords left. Here are some pictures of the cords. Turns out I could have bought a real pretty cord using the same components for $69.00 plus shipping. I paid $6.00 for mine.
As I was building these a thought ocurred to me. (yeah, I know, dangerous) but if these high falutin power cords make such a difference, why don't you ever see after market gold plated sockets to replace the standard plastic IEC connectors that come on even the most expensive gear. If I am going to hook up a $500 cord, whats another $100.00 for a socket?
