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.
