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

Everyone knew about Garth and the speaker cable at our meeting.
Although he didn't exactly admit it, more like a no comment. 
OK, here is the latest on my adventures with the Storm series. I have 330
hours on all four cables (two on the amps, two on both preamp power supplies. Plus, I now have the Thunders on the speakers. I believe the 
Hurricanes on the Atlas amps are broken in. And the sound is much better than it has ever been. I was happy, I was is hog heaven. And then
guess what happened? Two days ago the sound started to improve. This
was affecting all aspects of my sound. I thought, what is going on here.
And then the obvious hit me. The PRE-AMP dummy. The preamp is coming in. Both cables, one for each power supply is opening up
the preamp. Suddenly the usual brightness and aggressive sound of the Mercury recordings I have basically disappeared, the soundstage was 
getting bigger and deeper, transparency improved and images were
rock solid. Perhaps more important the sound was simply more musical
and easier to enjoy. Especially the Mercs. I have been trying for 40 years
to get those records to sound the way I thought they could and should sound. And now they are. The preamp, drawing much less current than
the amps took longer to realize it's potential. Now I am hearing my Atlas cart, Basis table with the Super arm and even AJ Conte's arm wire as 
never before. The whole package is being delivered to the mono-bloc
Atlas amps. Now I will focus on the Thunders which I expect will deliver
the goods as well. No question, the Storm series is a separate component equal to the components in a system and part of the chain that can make or break sound quality?

No question mark on the last sentence of my previous post. Maybe an exclamation mark!

After the Thunder PC's are installed, keep us informed. Will it be long?

With the Vandy 7s the Thunder will be drawing current above and below
180 hz which is the crossover point between the mid-range driver
and the subwoofer. The sub-woofer amp boosts the frequencies below
the crossover point back to flat and rolls off the subwoofer above the 
crossover point. So, as you can see, the current will be limited unless
called upon. Right now I have about 20 hrs on the Thunders. It does
seem to me that the there is greater clarity in the bass region, Above the 
the crossover point the midrange will slope up while the subwoofer 
slopes down. Below the crossover point the opposite takes place. Break-in will take awhile.

Thanks for sharing Charger.  I've got Thunder on order for the Quatro's.  Which connector did they put on them?  I assume the older one that was on the NRG?
