Hi anyone know what the best power cord to buy in Australia is? Can't get the bottlehead one it seems? Wrong spec.

I assume the only thing wrong with the Bottlehead kit is the US plug?

I always make my own using Belden 19364 cable (pic attached) as its well shielded so you dont pickup any mains noise through your amps or interconnects.

These IEC sockets fit the large diameter cable (10mm) http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=gear_city&_armrs=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xiec&_nkw=iec&_sacat=0

For the wall socket i use industrial grade MK Toughplugs but they would be no use to you as we have UK wall sockets here.

Finally a layer of techflex over it to make it pretty ;)
