Reterminating Audioquest Hurricane HC


I have an AQ Hurricane HC with C13 termination on female end. I would like to change it out for a C19. Is this a bad idea? My new amp requires a C19 termination.

I've tried emailing AQ. Can I do this myself? Are there any of you out there that can do it?

Personally, I would purchase an adapter from VooDoo. I have tested many of their adapters and heard no difference in sound.

I was going to buy a used Audioquest Dragon power cord with a EU Schuko plug and AQ quoted me $250 to change to US. This was only a few weeks ago.

I would recommend you either do this or go with the Voodoo option. I use the Voodoo adaptors regularly on different cables and they make zero difference.

Don't mess with the cable yourself....

There is nothing magic about terminating a cable. Just like I don’t like to let some high school drop out work on my Mercedes (I’m talking about the kids that work at the dealership) I much prefer to terminate my own cables.

Those who always say "let the OEM do it" are expressing their own limitations, not yours. I don’t know what your limitations are.

Your only limitation is squashing resale value once you attempt surgery, successful or not. Adapters, as mentioned are the way to go.
