2nd best is for born losers in our world. We protect all our clients to the max. And we want them to receive the best quality possible. We don't care about a name.
I tested the Wel and Wild as well and they were not good enough. Based on 2 facts. They were to thin and silver soed not work that well for powercables.
They only cable I liked was the NRG-1000 with the new plugs. But I only used it for some powersupplies.
But the Hurricane is the same material as the NRG-1000. But it is 3 times as thick. And mann that creates a different league.
I also tested the new AQ conditioners, I don't like them. There are others which are better. When you compare the conditioners to the cables there is a difference in properties.
I am only interested in products which are able to reveal all details on which sound is being formed.
They are not good in individual focus, Shunyata products show exactly these kind of limitations.
Most people who have audio as a hobby have no idea on which parts sound is being founded. Then it is easy to buy products which are incomplete.
Most audio products are incomplete based on facts. We can proof this and demonstrate it very easily. We work by Tru-Fi and make all the systems of new clienst complete.
The first time when we audition an audiosystem of a new client it is always incomplete. I invite them or I send then to clienst who also own an audio system who can reveal all 8 parts of Tru-Fi.
It is very easy to understand what the differences are with your system. The level in emotion and intensity of each Tru-Fi audio system outperforms any audio system which is being created by trial and error.
Each single person on this planet prefers any sytem what can reveal more details and emotion compared to any incomplete system.
