To me it's not subtle at all. Tornado to Thunder is subtle. Some may think the Thunder to Hurricane is subtle, but it depends on your houses electrical as well as your system. Mine has VAndy Quatro's and is highly resolving. I have found the difference to be huge, so I went with Hurricane. I'm getting the Dragon for my The Memory Player, once I get it as that is the biggest difference and I only need the source one.
I have used the Furetech, AQ's and the Cruze Maestro in a friends room. We also had the Oyaide installed. He had totally separate circuits for each (he's a dealer with very high end gear and a great room).
In order:
Furutech
AQ, Oyide
Cruze (not close)
The tie is due to what flavor you like. AQ is the house sound. Most neutral with great timber and really dynamic. Oyide is smoother and is a great performer all around.
All were very good and worth the upgrades. I have my two lines on a wall that I need the electrician to extend to the new wall. I am thinking strongly of getting the cryo Furutech top of the line as stated above as it's really special. I'll use the two AQ's I have for my house circuit that will have a Richard Gray power deal that I plug my Wyred 4 Sound LPS (4 supplies) into. I then use it to power my modem, router and cable TV box, lol.
Charger, it was awesome. Dinner was Italian of course. The conversation was just amazing. Learned sooo much. :). Are you in SD? I used to buy through Bruce when I was stationed out there (82-87). I still have the NAD system my brother bought from him and I still have part of my Stax system I got there. It was the first time I met Richard.
