High Current VS Dedicated Source Cables : Audioquest


I already own a AQ HC Hurricane for my tube amp but now looking for a source cable and very curious about the sonic qualities between the HC and dedicated source cables for components.

I ordered a Audioquest Tornado Source cable (16 gauge) a month ago and just picked it up today except they sent the wrong one. The one sent is the Tornado High Current which is a thicker 12 gauge cable. I'm trying to decide if I should sent it back. Sonic quality is my only concern between the two. Anyone have any experience with source vs HC cables?

Thanks!

Hello ; why would it be better for a DAC source Dragon cable than Dragon HC cable ? what would be the indication and the decision to use a cable that is even thinner ...? There is an explanation from a technical point of view; or is just a cheaper cable; a HC cable that is used on a DAC, might not sound as good? I already have Firebird HC and Dragon HC for conditioner and amplifier  But for my DAC, DAC PS Audio Directstream senior would be the best choice? Thank you for your answer
