Furutech vs Audioquest Power Cables

Hello everyone, my first post here. I'm in the process of upgrading power cables and wondering if anyone here has first-hand experience testing out Furutech's Nanoflux power cables vs high-end Audioquest cables such as Hurricane/Firebird/Dragon. In order for me to try them out, I will need to pay for them and test them out and then return one for a refund via an online store as I can't find any distributor who carries these cables in my area. Anyone A/B these and can comment on their general characteristics and attributes? Thanks for any help!

I'm loving my AQ THUNDER 1 meter cable plugged into my AQ Niagara 1200....plus my AQ X3 cables used for my sources, sacd/cd & dac.....I've no reason to buy anything else, sounds nice to my ears.

IMO, you may be better buying used.  Broken in cable not the same as brand new cable, and you may err when making determinations for your system prematurely with cables that have not fully settled in.  (I know this issue will probably generate a lot of flack, but...)

I use AQ Tornado High-Current and Source Power Cables for my main amp and preamp.  I use the AQ Niagara 1200 for my power conditioner.  I am extremely pleased with the performance.  In fact, I use AQ connecting signal cables throughout my system as well (Earth signal cables).  I swear by the AQ line of products.  There are a number of great products on the market and you really can't go wrong with any of them.  AQ satisfies me very well and I believe in their proven research, so that will be my recommendation.  We all have our reasons and you will have to make yours.  I'm just glad to offer my very good experience with a great brand.  I strongly suggest that you do the research on the brands by reading their technical information.  You will learn (as I did) about the materials they use and, more importantly, why they choose those particular materials for the application.  That is how I landed on my decision to use AQ throughout my system.  I hope this helps you.
