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.

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.

looking forward in reading about your impressions and thoughts on the Dragon vs. Enklein.  Happy Listening!

It's going to be awhile as I need to get the Dragons' in my possession and then get my ride over to my buddies house to do the audition.  I too can't wait to hear it though, lol....  
The irony of it all is that I actually am willing to sell one of my Hurricane's to purchase the Dragon source cable for the DAC/server.  I may need to put an add together, lol.  
I don't know if you guys are awake out there, but there is news on the Audioquest new line of speaker cables called the Mythical Creatures
speaker cables. Our Audio Society meeting on the 29th of this month
will feature Richard Vandersteen and Garth Powell. Garth is scheduled
to introduce the new line of speaker cables that up to now has only been rumor. I don't know the specific agenda, but I'm hoping for a demo like
the one Garth did for us on the Storm Series power cables. Just imagine, if these speaker cables make an impact like the Storm Series the result could be really special. Stay tuned>
