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:

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.

I hope it's a transparent presentation; that is, I could buy a 100% Silver Dragon and in fact be a 50% Silver Dragon; so I think it would be good to be authenticated directly and in a transparent way; I am a little disappointed because I was preparing to buy the Dragon Silver power cord 50% (the initial version) and now everything has been changed; I do not have a reference and no review yet to know what I will buy; About Dragon Silver 50% knew and I read many things; en plus I have Firebired that has 25% silver and is probably similar to Dragon; Firebird is Ok; But Dragon Silver 100% I think it is something more than just a change and I can not imagine the sound of the new cable and the sound changes it would make ..... So I'll have to wait for an evaluation ...
The newer Dragon will also have the carbon DBS instead of the black, but as these can be bought separately and swapped after the fact that is not a definitive identifier 🤨

Net net is demand complete paperwork if purchasing used, or work with a reliable dealer

ps whee are you getting the information on the copper silver percentages? I’ve never seen that

Percentages, I think, are available on the internet,. At least for the Dragon original version; Firebird is said to have 50% less silver than the Dragon; so it's simple (math) ...

   Suppose a local dealer has a Dragon50% cable (original version) in stock, he can put it in a 100% silver dragon box and sell it at a different price (the boxes of Audioquest are not sealed ); because there are no clear differences between the two versions; Audioquest could do something to authenticate the exact second version and avoid any confusion in this case; There should be a clear distinction on the power cable; move more transparent; for example Firebird is red, blue hurricane; that's what I wanted to say and explain; I sent a mail to Audioquest I hope to do something to improve things;

Suppose a local dealer has a Dragon50% cable (original version) in stock, he can put it in a 100% silver dragon box and sell it at a different price (the boxes of Audioquest are not sealed ); because there are no clear differences between the two versions; 


More to the point I took delivery of (what I assume and was told) is a V2/silver Dragon and it came in a (new design to me) box which was labeled Dragon PSC+/PSS on the outside!  My dealer is taking this up with AQ as we speak. BTW at least here in the US few dealers keep these things in stock so the phenomena of reboxing isn't that much of a problem ... the used market however is screwed
