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


Hi everyone,
I am interested in having my own customized Audioquest power cable build based of their new power line Storm series, which can be found here:

https://www.audioquest.com/ac-power/ac-power-cables/storm-series

The reason being the new line is out of my budget AND I am very interested in how a tailor made Audioquest applied with my own ideas will sound.

The idea:

• Use Audioquest NRG 4 cable, which can be bought in bulk: https://www.audioquest.com/ac-power/ac-power-cables/3-pole/nrg-4

• Dissecting the NRG 4 cable into three different wire parts: neutral, live, earth.

• Add multiple layers of shieldings per wire part: carbon fibre, copper braided sleeve, carbon fibre sleeve.

• Twist the three shielded wire parts in a geometry as the new Audioquest cable above, also have a look at:

https://www.lessloss.com/dfpc-series-p-213.html and

http://anticables.com/power-cords#!/Level-3-Reference-Series-Power-Cords/p/14644872/category=3461168

These great performers also use the same triple twisted design.

There must be something good going on with this geometry? That is why I want to apply it.

• Finally add, Oyaide plugs at each end (046, 079 or 004) and fill it with special crystal mineral against vibration, EMI, RFI, see: http://sablonaudio.com/index.php/power

First of all, would the geometry and design help you guys think?

Would it be worthwhile to try?

I can get Audioquest nrg4 relatively cheap. It has to be Audioquest wiring for me.

ctsooner's reaction to his new Hurricanes was exactly the same as mine
when I started the burn-in process of these power cords. But you should hang on ctsooner because you have a bunch of those magic moments ahead of you. I just had a major improvement in over all sound quality at 
roughly 280 or so hours (I'm serious) and I suspect that is not the end of it. stsooner has 80 hours on his Hurricanes and is only just getting started. Expect more posts from him.
@ctsooner and @chargerfan ,
What are your opinions regarding the lesser Thunder model?
My pockets aren't quite as deep....

Bob, those are incredible and for the price, it's a no brainer.  I have heard all of them on a $250k plus system and then a system that costs less than mine does.  It didn't matter as the cables made very audible differences.  Bob, call Johnny and talk to him about them.  The Thunder is probably the best cord for the dollar out there.  I don't like most cords to be honest.  Most companies just use their speaker wires to make a cord.  It doesn't work that way.  

I can honestly say that Garth's new cords are a true component upgrade and not a tuning device.  I personally hate using any cable or cord as a tuning device.  That's NOT what they are supposed to do.  I was blessed to be able to get the WEL balanced interconnect for my DAC to amp and will now sell my Niagara and Water cables, as that step up was also another major upgrade.  

I find teh AQ products the most neutral, but there are some small companies who are playing in another price range that are also great.  I hope to get my Hurricane's to my friends house once they are burned in and once he gets his just ordered Enkleins burned in.  I want to see how they stack up.  I have a feeling that they may be more neutral and tonally dead on as most AQ stuff is.
Bob,

After my home audition of the Audioquest Thunder, I decided to purchase a couple Hurricanes and Tornadoes. I had Wireworld Platinum and Silver Eclipse power cords,  had a home audition of Shunyata Sigma and Alpha power cords. Although I didn't directly compared the Thunder to Tornado and Hurricane,  I can say I preferred the Thunder to Wireworld and Shunyata power cords. I say try the Thunder in your system. The results may surprise you. 
@ctsooner , @ricred1 ,
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I will give the Thunder a try. 
I am currently using a bunch of Zu Audio power cables. I find them very neutral, but I know AQ really makes a great product and want to give them a try.
