Furutech vs Audioquest Power Cables


Hello everyone, my first post here. I'm in the process of upgrading power cables and wondering if anyone here has first-hand experience testing out Furutech's Nanoflux power cables vs high-end Audioquest cables such as Hurricane/Firebird/Dragon. In order for me to try them out, I will need to pay for them and test them out and then return one for a refund via an online store as I can't find any distributor who carries these cables in my area. Anyone A/B these and can comment on their general characteristics and attributes? Thanks for any help!

I use AQ Tornado High-Current and Source Power Cables for my main amp and preamp.  I use the AQ Niagara 1200 for my power conditioner.  I am extremely pleased with the performance.  In fact, I use AQ connecting signal cables throughout my system as well (Earth signal cables).  I swear by the AQ line of products.  There are a number of great products on the market and you really can't go wrong with any of them.  AQ satisfies me very well and I believe in their proven research, so that will be my recommendation.  We all have our reasons and you will have to make yours.  I'm just glad to offer my very good experience with a great brand.  I strongly suggest that you do the research on the brands by reading their technical information.  You will learn (as I did) about the materials they use and, more importantly, why they choose those particular materials for the application.  That is how I landed on my decision to use AQ throughout my system.  I hope this helps you.
safebelayer (I assume that you do rock climbing), there truly is a difference in the materials applied in higher cost power cables.  This is also true in their shielding.  There are different types of copper, silver, how they are extruded, how the plating process is done, dielectric system, and the list goes on.
Then the question is, can you hear a difference when using the higher cost power cables, the ones with more expensive materials and production costs?  If you can then you have satisfaction.  If you can not, then no reason to waste your hard earned cash.  But my point is, there is indeed a difference in the quality of materials between less costly and more costly power cables.
Would you trust your life to belaying with heavy jute cord or high-quality climbing cable?
