Audioquest source AC Hurricane vs FireBird


Anyone know if the FireBird is going away in the AC cable lineup?  Seems like the new series is called Storm but FireBird is still in this series.....

Wondering the differences between FireBird and Hurricane for source components.

I’m contemplating Audioquest Dragon and/or top line Voodoo Cables as my final PC upgrade.  Looking at the increased amount of silver between the speaker cables Firebird vs Dragon https://www.audioquest.com/resource/1278/AQ-US-Retail-Price-Book.pdf , I’m guessing that the power cables also have significantly more silver. I’ll probably try both to scratch the curiosity itch.

I like buying used to save significant $, but one must be very careful of knockoffs especially imitating the popular Audioquest brand. I’m guessing the best way to verify used cable authentications is documentation and/or a seller’s/dealer’s reputation.

Regarding cables (interconnects, power, speakers). I’m very pleased that PCs generally are the lowest costing cables but may give the highest sonic upticks.

@lordmelton I'm in the same boat.  The Dragons PCs are reachable budgetwise, but the ICs and SC are not.  ICs I've settled on the newer Siltech Classic Legend.  SC I have used Tara but am contemplating what the next upgrade will be likely in silver Albedo or AQ William.

Fuses - there's another rabbit hole.  I was going to go with SR fuses until discovering QRA fuses which are seemingly priced to gauge like their outlets - which is another rabbit hole (I'll probable stop at Furutech).
