rshad I hear you..... I’ll probably go with the Hurricane for the Gryphon too, for the same reasons. I’m sure marketing folks will be using our posts to validate their assumptions on the mindset of HiFi enthusiasts. I felt very self-conscious when my non-audiophile friends found out what I spent on a AQ Diamond USB cable. And that’s not even an expensive cable relatively speaking. IMO USB cables are the most embarrassing thing for audiophiles to buy, but power cords are a close second. But in many cases the differences are so blatantly obvious, and the effects are not even always positive.
Nordost Valhalla 2 Power Cord Worth It? Over Audioquest Hurricane?
I am wondering about the performance delta between the Nordost Valhalla 2 PC versus something more "reasonably priced" as the Audioquest Hurricane PC. Is there anyone with some experience with both of these cords able to comment on the sonic differences as you go up to the Valhalla 2? I'm certain the answer will depend what I am connecting the cords to. It will be one cord for a Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated amplifier, and another cord for an InnuOS Zenith MKIII music server. In other threads, I've seen some people note that a high-end PC with the Diablo won't yield much difference from the stock cable, but I'm not sure if that is true? I'd conduct some tests but I unfortunately don't have the gear quite yet, and I'm planning out the cabling.
