Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series).

One thought for the op idea of 'making his own' In my experience home made cords cost a lot anyway, and are kind of a waste of time. They never are as good as the pros make, Plus they have ZERO resale value. I use some home made extension cords, (just to get my 20amp power to my stereo.. ) but other than that, I use manufactured cables.       ***** On other news about AQ... Sadly I am cheap. I just cannot get the money from my pocket into an AQ Tornado or Hurricane. I DID splurge on some (more, newer and way cheaper than the AQ ) Pangea. They also sound better than the early basic ones I had before.  I just stuck the AC9SE mk2 signature from breaking in on the Furman to the 'duplex to amp' location. Better than the (old original) AC9SE.   ******* Part of my issue with buying the Thunder/tornado/hurricane is I need a FOUR METER powercord for my amp. Thunder would be an even grand, The Tornado would be $1700, and a Hurricane would be $3200 for one powercord. If I sit and stew on it for awhile I might get the Tornado... maybe. Geoff is using hypnosis on me to buy a Hurricane, but I am resisting, LOL  Maybe after awhile I will borrow one or two from The Cable Co stash to try them out just to hear one

Last month I purchased four Audioquest Hurricane power cords for my
system. I put two Hurricanes on my Aesthetix Io Eclipse phono pre-amp
which has two power supplies and is a stand alone phono preamp and
two more Hurricanes on my Aesthetix Atlas Eclipse monobloc amps.
The rest of my system consists of Vandersteen Model 7 speakers, Basis
Debut Signature TT with the Super Arm 9 and Lyra Atlas cart. Other cables are AQ Everest bi-wired speaker cables and AQ Wild Blue Yonder
interconnects.
I was told by an AQ representative that break-in would probably be anywhere from 250 to 350 (or more) hours. Right now I'm at 260 hrs.
I cannot fully describe the impact that these cables have had on my
system. Every aspect of sound that one can think of has improved dramatically. I'll just use the old descriptive phase and say that a large
curtain has been lifted from the soundstage to reveal sense of reality
that I have never experienced. In some ways it is shocking.
I recently was looking at some old TAS magazines from the early 90s.
There were 10 reviews of equipment with a list of components for each
system used in one of the magazines. Out of the ten reviewers, only
one made any mention of power cords. The other nine only mentioned interconnects and speaker cables. The year was 1992.
Garth Powell has taken us to a new level reproductive sound that most
have not really experienced. I have attended one of his presentations
and would suggest that, if possible, all of you do the same. 

Thanks Charger.  Garth is a great guy.  I can't wait for his 'next' set of products that I'm sure he's working on. He just gets it so no matter what he's working on, I'm sure it will be awesome.

It's my understanding that they're coming out with a new Hurricane. I don't know what they've changed, but it's supposed to be different from the original release.

Redesign? Maybe so you can BEND it? I hear the original of Dragon and Hurricane Tornado and Thunder are really stiff. And the bigger the stiffer...
