Audioques Power cable Dragon vs Hurricane what difference in low frequencies



      Hello. I watched talks about Audioquest power cables; I understand that between Dragon and Hurrican would be a difference, but that difference was not very detailed ...! I'm not referring to the price difference. I would like to buy an Audioquest power cable for my Hegel H 300 amplifier and would like to know which of the two cables offers deeper sound and stronger bass sound?
      Has the Dragon Power Cable (which is a combination of copper and silver) a bass and lower frequent sound better than Hurricane that is only copper?  Has anyone tested the two cables and can give a correct answer because I'm interested in this feature?
     Thank you

@adi74 to deal with your questions. Firstly unfortunately I will not be able to do the old/new Dragon comparison as my old ones are 20A and dedicated to my amps, the new is for my pre-amp (or if need be somewhere else in my digital stack).

I would not try to read back to the WEL Sig however as the changes to new series are much more about the design and geometry -- don't worry I'm sure that at least on the dimensions of information retrieval, dynamics and speed the Dragon will come out on top. I cannot answer however if this will be the mix you need. My recommendation would be to have the dealer you are working with provide both Firebird and Dragon and see for yourself -- everything else is speculation. 

One dealer that can do this for you, and is well worth calling in any case is Randy at Optimal Enchantment in Santa Monica -- he shifts loads of AQ stuff and really knows the line and he is the one who originally set me onto this line of products
Oh and btw @adi74 Dragon has been revised and is now 100% silver -- the PSS/PSC+ cable is now called Firebird. So you need to know which version of Dragon you are getting (my comments above relate to the original 11 gauge copper/silver model)
@adi74 before you run off and jump in another direction because of one person’s suggestion you may benefit from a second opinion. I own and use both top of the line SR (Galileo) and AQ (Dragon) in my system -- both are good, the SR emphasize fully fleshed tonality and are a great complement to digital systems (and I use them on my DCS stack) however I find them relatively "slow" on monoblocks and here Dragon excels with its unrivaled speed, absolute bass detail (which manifests as lack of bass so may explain the observation - see my notes here) and best in class dynamic range. SR is also demanding of lots of other SR ancillaries to sound its best (e.g. the grounding blocks for the current cables) so the price of entry is large -- plus SRs incessant upgrading can be annoying

So both are good but to say one "blows away" the other is entirely system dependent
