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.

Thank You for the link, very informative. Are all AQ cables/power cords being made in china?  Happy Listening!

Manufacturers deal with china to lower costs and increase profits. The Cable businsess is no different.  China has been stealing cable/power cord technology, amongst other U.S. technologies, for many years now.Especially important to their gray market operations, luxury cabling, EnKlein/Pranawire/Stage III Concepts/ ...etc.

I agree about Japan copper being superior. To my knowledge, Japan, does not engage in the gray market to the extent of china and russia. I hope this is not true on the behalf of AQ. Making sense or not making sense does not factor into this particular equation. Happy Listening!

I can remember Tara Labs being spanked a few years ago along this same course. Rumor was those guys were outsourcing, destination unknown but thought to china, and jacketing stated Made in USA.
Happy Listening!
