One of the things about the Hurricane is the tremendously tight fitting on both ends, but particularly on the female end. This is a $2K power cord. I think they put a lot of work into it. I would have AudioQuest do it or swap for a cord with one with the correct fittings.
I guess technically it depends on your equipment… whether you are going to hear the difference. But this is such an amazing product I would not compromise it. I guess if you really want to save money get an adapter. I would not destroy the cord.
