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.

In case anyone is interested I am selling a 1M Hurricane 20AMP IEC power cable on Audiogon.

I now need a longer length so if you are interested please let me know.

Cheers

sorry you have to sell Darth.  Charger, very cool.  I've never met Randy. He's never been open when I"ve been down by 3rd street.  I've sent him many folks though, lol.  Including a 7 purchase.  I know he takes great care of customers and still has a great ear for set ups etc... Very small world.
Jim is also a great guy.  I love Aesthetix gear.  Wonderful stuff for the cost too.  Just like Vandersteen does.  
@ctsooner thanks for the info about wall-sockets.  I may get around to switching my Cruze to AQ, based on your comments.  Possibly might also upgrade my Tornado, although I was a little confused by your remark that the difference between Thunder and Tornado is not subtle, while the Hurricane-Thunder may be on some systems.  I guess you're aware that Tornado is the product in between Hurricane and Thunder?  No matter...the Tornado sounds great.  Here's the strange part....
On my system I have the Tornado from wall to Niagara 1000.  My integrated Belles amp seems to sound better plugged into one of the regular inputs on the Niagara, rather than the dedicated power input.  The power input sounds slightly bloated in the bass.  So far I've had the Tornado plugged into the Niagara for about 250 hours, playing music for about 20 hours.  Another question - when yo guys are talking about burn in time, are you speaking about music-playing or simply connected to powered components?
Thanks for the correction. I messed up the names. That can happen with me due to my MS.  You are correct.  

I found that on one of the systems I remember, the Tornado sounded a bit better than the Thunder.  The system was a fairly resolving system.  The system using the Hurricane vs the Tornado showed the Hurricane to be a very very good cord.  Dragon is in a different league.  I really wanted to hear the Dragon cords vs the Enklein that my buddy just got.  I may try and secure some of them to play a bit.  

As for which outlet to plug the Belles into, I've never been able to do that. I use an Ayre AX5/20 integrated and it sounds better in the power outlet.  

As for burn in, I needed about 500 hours before my bass fully settled in.  It also helped a spec with the soundstage, but it wasn't huge after the first 200 hours or so.  I play music at serious volume levels.  That's just me though.

I have the older one I guess as I have a reddish hue to mine.  I just got them a few weeks ago.
