It is said that only the circuits in the cable that connect the earth (the return) are copper; the others that provide the active side would be silver; it's strange how they did it; on the official Audioquest site now say it's 100% silver; ; when I asked an official dealer why they went to 12 AWG they said it was always the same and there was no change for the Dragon; yet in 2018, 11AWG was written for the Dragon. Now it's 12; it was explained to me that it was a mistake?!?! But it is very true that it is more expensive; Even Nordost increased Walhala prices; They explained that: the price of silver, copper and gold rose; Perhaps prices have risen and may have reduced the surface to 12 AWG; Everything the production price does not grow too much ....! I do not know ; I'm trying to find logical explanations. The way they did this is not even transparent and fair-play.
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.

I just purchased the AQ Thunder PC connected to my preamp and I’m likely what I hear so far. The first thing I noticed is it has a fuller bass than my TWL 7+ PC, second I noticed a blacker background. My ears easily noticed the individual instruments spaced out within the soundstage. Third, there’s a sense of peacefulness in the music. Can someone who has experienced with the Thunder and Tornado, let me know if you perceived a noticeable improvement, whether small or significant and what did you notice that was better? Thank you. |
