Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1)

You need to understand the differences between silver and copper. or even the combination of these two. 

Silver in loudspeakercables and interconnects works different than silver in powercables.

I also use 2 sets of Wel xlr in my system. And Wild interconnects for my surround part. All my hdmi, RJ/E and other cables are diamond and are also silver.

But powercables for amps, sources and pre amps silver will not always be the best option. This is why Audioquest stopped with full silver. Now they had to admit that this is not the best way to go.

There are enough situations that a Hurricane will work better than a Dragon. You need to understand how different materials work on an amp, pre amp or even source.

The Wel tests proved that silver often will limit the diversity in the middle frequencies. Jim Aud the owner of Purist Audio also has one pure silver powercable. He made it because clients asked for it. But he also prefers the copper version, like I do.

When you are able to extract all the different properties of each individual part in your system you can understand what it does to your stage and sound. This is needed to find out if a cable is the best option in your system.

I have a lof of experience with acoustic live music. One of my best friend had a concert room with a Steinway piano. And he gave small classical concerts.

This made me aware what intimate sound is and does with both voices and instruments. Intimate sound is also an important part of Tru-Fi.

The Hurriane and Dragon both are able to create a stunning realistic  proportion. But it goes even further than this alone. It also can give a voice or instrument a more realistic shape.

When you want to create a sound and stage wich creates a stunning 3D holographic stage with intimate and realistic individual focus of voices and instruments. You need the right properties for it. And creating a shape is even more difficult.

When I auditioned a lot of classical music I started to understand what a shape of an instrument is and how it is being formed. 

Everything I hear during live music I want to create. It is in my head and I work it out until I can create it.

Many of my tests proof that many products and brands don't own all the properties of sound. Beside that many also are not able to fill it in the right way.

This is why you need to know all the individual properties of each part. In all other situations you are doing audio by pure gambling.

Many people I spoke this year who also work in audio started to laugh when they admit that the way they do audio is more like gambling.

It proofs that most have no idea how they work untill you confront them. 

I am not Clearthink. I have many clients and I asked a few if they were him. But they all said it is not me.

To be honest I don’t know who he is. Next week a person who also comes here a lot at Audiogon will visit me. I will ask him also to write here what he thinks about Tru-Fi systems.

Because I will take him also to a client of mine. We create a sound. It is always the same way. Each system needs to own all the different parts of sound. Because each single part what is missing will always create a lower level in emotion and intensity. Audio is that simple:)

It is obvious that people react strange on something they don’t know. That is why it needs to be shown. Tru-Fi will bring both sound&vision to a for many new level in quality.

You all do audio by trial and error based on the fact that it is told you to do so. The people in audio do it as will, so this proves that they all think and even believe that this is the best way to do audio.

I can tell you and I will prove that it is not. You have no access to all the different properties of each individual part in your system. For that it is too ineffective.

There are different people who react irritated all the time overhere. Please stop with that, we will help everyone. Just give us some time. It will be shared.

People think that I want to provoke, but that is not the case. I want to take you out of your comfortzone so people will start to look further..........

This is needed to grow to a much higher endresult than your system can create now. We are all different but we are all humans. So react like that.

That even counts for me, so I want to apologize to the people who felt offended. Perfectionists can only think in one way; and that is the best result possible. There is no room for error. Second best will never be an option.

I was born like this and even as a child I was the same. And yess I am a lot different, I will never say better. Because in my world all people are equal and even important. The difference is that I can see and hear so much further into details.

Today I phoned with the head of Audioquest Europe about the Dragon. I told him that I can reveal details/micro information I never heard on any system regarding price since I use the Dragon on my subwoofer.

We improve both sound&vision over and over again. This proces never stops. This is inside my system and the drive to create an even higher level is there all the time. Yesterday evening we did a new calibration with my Oled and brought it to an even higher level. This also goes far beyond your imagination.

Our S.A.P.-measurement can reveal details of sound what cannot be reached by normal audio without this measurement. It is missing. It is not even there. And that is why we can get a superior level out of a Dragon.

We compared different highend stereo preamps (of even over 15000 dollars) and they were inferior on all parts. This proves how much you loose with ’standard’ audio.

’Highend’ products will not solve this. Even when the parts inside are better, it is still very limited. Trial and error gives you a very limited insight of details and data. That is why you still cannot guide and control your sound and stage precisely.

Beside this, you need to understand what smog, magnetism and high frequent noise does to your system. We eliminate all these different parts to a minimum. This is what research does, it gives you access to understand why these parts limit your sound and also vision.

Tru-Fi can easily make you understand what goes wrong and how you can solve this. In fact it is the opposite of trial and error. I started to create this on the 3rd of july 1998. I made the choice that day to understand why each product in audio is so different than another one.

This is the mindset I talked about many times overhere. It is a different way of thinking. But it opens doors which will be closed with trial and error until the end.

Life is not about what you take and own, but what you can give to others......

Wow ......wasn't this the same guy who high-jacked everybody's power cables threads here on Audiogon to shout from the top of the mountain that Purist Audio makes the best power cables on the planet. I will agree that Jim Aud makes some very good right at the top cables , and who also is selling them at prices where you just have to shake your head and say ; C'mon Jim really ? One of the most down to earth guys in this hobby but is now pricing his cables out of most everybody's reach these days. How much could have possibly changed ? ........but wait Bo now seems to know the answer. I have made my owns logical decisions with this hobby and after nearly 40 years of collecting ......it's your ears, your system, your room and the music you listen to. ( and your own money ) but I do take offense when someone either from the front door or from the back door is telling us they are stupid for what we know and or don't know and come with me I will show you the way type of approach. Hmmmmm........I will not drink your Kool Aid Bo and I am not stupid or easily persuaded as I can make my OWN decisions when it comes to audio. Just wow ......enjoy the music and this journey.
