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.

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. 
ctsooner, I used to live in SD. Bruce was my dealer for many years
at Stereo Unlimited. He is truly a fine person to work with. I now
live in Huntington Beach up the coast. My dealer is Randy Cooley
at Optimal Enchantment. Jim White used to work for Randy in Santa
Monica. Through them I have become friends with Richard. Like you,
I have learned so much from them. Seems like it is a small world.
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?
