Audioquest new Storm series power cables thunder or tornado

I’ve been using an Audioquest Thunder power cord for the past couple of days. Cables really are about system matching...I tried the Shunyata Sigma power cord and I prefer the Audioquest Thunder in my system. One of my local stores let me have a home trial of their demo and I really like it. Unfortunately, the store is Bjorn's and they really aren't a "high-end" dealer. I don't have the opportunity to compare the Thunder, Tornado, and Hurricane to each other. Based on the very good results I have with the Thunder, I'm just taking a chance and going for the Hurricane to go from my amp to the power conditioner. I’m ordering a 2 meter Audioquest Hurricane on Monday.

@ricred1  Could you elaborate on why you preferred the Audioquest cords to the Shunyatas in your system? Are you still using the Audioquest cables?

riovendale,

I submit it's important to realize there are no absolutes in audio, only preferences. My comments are more about my preferences and how a particular component works in my system. In my system the Shunyata Sigma power cords mask details, wasn't as open sounding, and the bass wasn't as defined. I'm not talking night and day differences, but differences that can be easily discerned. 

@ricred1 totally agree. I ask because I run Alpha HC/Analog/Digital and think I’ve noticed the same negative effects you mentioned, especially the masking of low-level detail. The dealer where I took my amp to demo speakers recently had everything hooked up with Audioquest, so I’m doing my due diligence.

Several people have contacted asking me why I'm selling my Hurricane power cord, if I think there so great. Hello,
There may be something better, but no I didn't find anything better. I was selling it, because I was switching DACs and the DAC I thought I would get required a different cord. I received the DAC yesterday and it's not even close to my DAC, so for now I'm no longer selling ghe Hurricane. I really love the Hurricane. As I always say, there are no absolutes in Audio, only preferences. I've compared several power cords in my system; Shunyata Sigma, Audience AU24, High Fidelity CT-2, Wireworld Platinum, and several more. Nothing has come close in my system. The key word is in my "system". The only thing I don't like about the Audioquest Storm series is they lack flexibility.
