Never tried the Firebird but after having a 20A HC Hurricane connected to my Niagara 7000 for a year now I began to wonder if the power cord was too bottom up in sound. I really wanted to try a Dragon, but lets just say I’m not rich.
I decided to make one on my own. I used 10 gauge .9999 pure soft silver wire and the best Teflon oversized tubing I could find. I covered the tubing with some granite mesh from Parts Express. I terminated the cables with Furutech F-50 NCF fittings and used Furutech Nano liquid on the connections. Heck, I even braided it like the Dragon.
To my surprise the Hurricane was holding back my system. My new power cord brought so much more life to the music it is awesome. However it did take a few weeks to fully flesh out.
BTW, my Hurricane is now connected to my Audioquest 1200 which powers my 2 JL F-113 subs.
