Reterminating Audioquest Hurricane HC


I have an AQ Hurricane HC with C13 termination on female end. I would like to change it out for a C19. Is this a bad idea? My new amp requires a C19 termination.

I've tried emailing AQ. Can I do this myself? Are there any of you out there that can do it?

Not exactly surgery involved. Just unscrew the connection and replace it. Very easy and took about 10 minutes.

@lak      You have tested many adapters and don't hear any difference in sound?

Can't be true.  Mains cords, fuses, plugs have all been reported many times as causing large sound improvements, even putting your wiring on stones or other objects.

Does this bring some hope of posts here moving into the real world?  Or should we listen to @curiousjim and all the others?

@clearthinker I should have been more specific and said I tested the VooDoo 15 to 20 and 20 to 15 adapters and did not notice a degradation in sound/music.

 

The right way is the only way when one wants the best and most proper outcome.  By allowing Audioquest to do the work it will be done properly.  That power cord is not just a single conductor for each, the positive and the negative.  Also, you will want the Audioquest C-19 part and not something else, off the shelf, so to speak.  Adaptors are for entry level systems, not true high-fidelity and high-resolution systems.  I strongly encourage to have Audioquest do the job.  It will be done properly, and you will have peace of mind that it is.
