I’ve not heard the Firebird. I did own two AQ Hurricane cords. One was feedings the power conditioner that had a DAC and a Preamp plugged into it. Second cord was on the amp. I did try it on DAC and on a preamp as well.
In my opinion it’s a great power cord for the system that has a slightly cooler and leaner balance. Hurricane is dynamic and has a good degree of warmth but unfortunately has a fat and bloated, although very textured bass. It did two tours of duty in my system but as an end result I sold it. There’s a lot to love about the AQ H power cords and in the right system they will be superb.
Try it and see how it behaves. It’s all about synergy.
