Is there any place to buy high-quality audiophile power supply cables that go to the motherboard?

Hi,

 

I guess you are talking about dc power supply cables for ATX.

 

PPA (Paul Pang Audio) have had such in his assortment. Do not know if they are left for sale.

 

I have used the same, ie PTFE isolated silver plated copper wire for all dc power supply cables, with very good results. So d-i-y will probably be your best friend. And please let me know if you find something.

Hi, Tomslin

 

Unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone that sells the power bundle already made. Do you have a link to the cable you bought? 

How many AWG do you use? It will be great to find it with OFC pure copper!

Russ Andrews sells Kimber which is OFC multistrand insulated with PTFE.

search for "reel" to get the TCX product, or TCSS

 

 

 

Regards

Of course you will have to terminate or splice into existing leads

I'm not surprised, only place I have found is Paul Pang.

 

Search for “PTFE insulated (silver plated) copper wire” and you will found many sellers, ebay for example.

 

I have used this wire. It's good to use as much area as possible, even more important if you intend to use OFC. Probably it will be difficult to crimping connector pins in range over 17-16 AWG, but you can solder them under pressure and that way handle bigger area. It can also be good to have screen to the P4 connector, and twist the wires for minimize emi/rfi. Also hold lengths of cables as short as possible.
