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!

I am using a HC Hurricane on my preamp and it sounds great. I suspect you can use the HC cord on anything, but should not use the Source cord on an amp that is HC. Neal
