Well, in the midst of the insanity that is moving I managed to whip up a couple of DIY power cords. Nothing special for sure but they'll work wonders at cleaning up the back of my stack, the base of which is a Monsterpower 3500 MKII so no more need for 6' cords.
Components: Pass & Seymour or Marinco AC plug, Schurter IEC and Belden 19364. Total length is about 18".
At some point down the road a bit when I have more time I'll bling one up with techflex and heatshrink but more and more I'm digging stripped down cables.
Here's a power cord I just did in anticipation for my future Headfive (due in July... DOH). along with it is my first DIY cord attempt. A crappy radio shack parts RCA to mini that will be getting some attention in the very near future.
Just got my BeyerDynamics DT770 80 Ohm. Of course they're totally great for bass, but I just didn't like how it almost felt as if the bass was overwhelming the other tones. The SPC recable really did help this. I'm afraid that there is a little less bass, but it is also more clear and doesn't interfere with hearing all other parts of the music. I really like how they turned out in terms of sound.
Actually I don't think the orange and brown wire is too bad. Nice braiding on the cable too.

Here are some quick IC's that i made this morning.
Not the most high quality, not the nicest looking, but they work. Neutrik profi connectors with silver plated copper wire. Techflex held on by the profi connectors (wonderful feature)
