Tornado and Thunder Power Cables

Hi all,

I am going to be upgrading my power cables for my preamp, 2 channel power amp and 5 channel power amp and I have chosen the following power cables to use in my setup:

1m Tornado(source)- preamp
2m Tornado(high current)- 2 channel power amp
1m Tornado( high current)- 5 channel power amp

In terms of bringing the cost down, if I used a 1m Thunder power cable for the 5 channel amp instead of the 1m Tornado(high current) would I be missing anything sonically by not using a Tornado HC power cable? Does anyone in the forum have a similar setup or are using a Thunder HC power cable as well mixed with the Tornado power cables? If so, what are your thoughts? Would it be better to just keep it all the same brand of power cable consistent or is there a huge sonic difference between the two power cables that would warrant me to stay with the Tornado HC power cable for my 5 channel amp?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts. Much appreciated.

Rotel RB-1590 is more than adequate for most 2-channel applications. Can one do better? Absolutely! But for a lot more money. I know, I owned it as soon as about three years ago. 
As for the power cords, Audioquest Storm series are very good. For two channel I would however select Hurricane or higher, if the budget allows. Also, there are other power cords out there, other brands, that perhaps offer better value for the dollar. Examples: Triode Wire Labs, Zavfino Prima or even Majestic, Shunyata Delta v2 NR, or even Venom NR v10
