Default high end umbilical cords

Hi,
Try to find one for Ref40 for long, now someone offer me the special
DIY one, make from Mundorf Mconnect Silver Gold Wire. Offerred as used
at about 1200$ in exchange to the original cords. I will try it and let you know.
this seems like a simple mod we can do too. But Mconnect cable is not cheap.
In each cord there are many separate wires, but if choose wisely to modify
only ones that are critical to audio circuit that will help us save.
Anyway, there are three sizes of Mundorf Mconnect wire, which size is right
to use in a dc power supply like Ref40 ? between 24, 18, 15 AWG , in case I
wanna make one myself rather than to buy the cords mentioned above.

When the PS and control units are side-by-side, these could be very short. That would be a nice option as the extra length just gets in the way.

two problems now.
1. these Mundorf umbilical cords are about 20cm too short for my set up.
2. they are so stiff that twisting it could break the solder points I guess.
allow me to free from work and I will try it buy moving PS unit closer.
in two days.

I tried it.
I am sure I don't like it. First cables are way too stiff.
And it sounded that way too. I prefer std cords even if the new one were free.

It may need some time to burn in to reveal its full potential.
