Audioquest source AC Hurricane vs FireBird

I’ve not heard the Firebird. I did own two AQ Hurricane cords. One was feedings the power conditioner that had a DAC and a Preamp plugged into it. Second cord was on the amp. I did try it on DAC and on a preamp as well.
In my opinion it’s a great power cord for the system that has a slightly cooler and leaner balance. Hurricane is dynamic and has a good degree of warmth but unfortunately has a fat and bloated, although very textured bass. It did two tours of duty in my system but as an end result I sold it. There’s a lot to love about the AQ H power cords and in the right system they will be superb.
Try it and see how it behaves. It’s all about synergy.

The Hurricane is the sweet spot in Audioquest's lineup. I was advised directly by a dealer that the Firebird is an incremental increase but not worth the money. The Dragon is a different story, though.

Yes, the Dragon is a very different story. End game cable. Immediate elevated SQ.

Reduce costs by buying 1M lengths, Audioquest will verify authenticity at no charge for used cables.

They'll even make 1M cables from 2M or longer cables.

I can't endorse other AQ products but the Dragon PCs are exceptional, nothing subtle about the improvements they bring, especially on power amps.

NB. You MUST use the High-Current version on power amps.

I've got high-current Dragon on my amplifier.  Just wasn't sure if the Dragon is needed for the source equipment?

@chauncey If your budget will stretch to using Dragons on all your major components, I would certainly recommend that you do so.

I have, besides my power amp, I have Dragons on my pre-amp and server/streamer.

Getting a Dragon for my DAC next but I'm extraordinarily happy with the sound I have now.
