Guys, each step of the way up with their power cords is a huge step up and not incremental. I have Hurricanes on everything and will get dragon on my source and DAC soonish. The new Garth Powell interconnects and speaker cables are supposed to be in another league like these power cords are. Even friends who aren't AQ fans love my power cords when they come over and bring theirs to play. Just amazing work by Garth.
Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series).
Hi everyone,
I am interested in having my own customized Audioquest power cable build based of their new power line Storm series, which can be found here:
https://www.audioquest.com/ac-power/ac-power-cables/storm-series
The reason being the new line is out of my budget AND I am very interested in how a tailor made Audioquest applied with my own ideas will sound.
The idea:
• Use Audioquest NRG 4 cable, which can be bought in bulk: https://www.audioquest.com/ac-power/ac-power-cables/3-pole/nrg-4
• Dissecting the NRG 4 cable into three different wire parts: neutral, live, earth.
• Add multiple layers of shieldings per wire part: carbon fibre, copper braided sleeve, carbon fibre sleeve.
• Twist the three shielded wire parts in a geometry as the new Audioquest cable above, also have a look at:
https://www.lessloss.com/dfpc-series-p-213.html and
http://anticables.com/power-cords#!/Level-3-Reference-Series-Power-Cords/p/14644872/category=3461168
These great performers also use the same triple twisted design.
There must be something good going on with this geometry? That is why I want to apply it.
• Finally add, Oyaide plugs at each end (046, 079 or 004) and fill it with special crystal mineral against vibration, EMI, RFI, see: http://sablonaudio.com/index.php/power
First of all, would the geometry and design help you guys think?
Would it be worthwhile to try?
I can get Audioquest nrg4 relatively cheap. It has to be Audioquest wiring for me.
