Differences in Audioquest Storm series (Thunder, Tornado, Hurricane)


Hi guys, I'm currently running a Audioquest Niagara 1000 conditioner, Line Magnetic 508IA integrated amp, SOTM Trifecta and a Denafrips Venus. Running the AQ Thunder from wall to the Niagara 1000, and from the 1000 to the integrated amp, AQ Z3 everywhere else.

My question is for those who had experiences with each entry in this line of power cables, how much of a difference does each tier bring vs. the previous one? What would I expect if I upgraded the main cable (wall to Niagara 1000) to the Tornado for example?

Thanks in advance.

I run a Tornado from the wall to the Niagara 1000, a Tornado from that to a Pangea power block, Shunyata Zi-Tron cobra to amp, Pangea 9 mkii se to sub from the power block. Shunyata Black Mamba and Black Mamba HC to dac/pre/ and phono pre amp, Pangea 14 mkii se to SACD player, and a Pangea 9 mkii se to RGPC.

I tried the Tornado on the amp and it had more low level detail than the Shunyata Cobra but switched it back to the power block in favor of the smother-sounding Shunyayta.
Curious if anyone has used the new Storm Series Source cables?

I'm considering one for my digital source and wondering what are the sonic benefits of using a Tornado/Hurricane 16 gauge source cable vs the AQ 12 gauge power cables?  Thanks!
FWIW I originally upgraded to a tornado feeding a Niagra 7000 and thought it made a huge difference. I have now upgraded to a hurricane and can hear a very significantly better sound - tighter, more definition, firmer bass, and much deeper black background. Like a thunder x 2

Now need to consider upgrading the source/amp cables from the NRG 3Z....could be getting expensive again
