Never had a Monsoon. I tried one AQ Thunder n my p20 power regenerator and was impressed. Sold that and purchased 7 AQ Hurricanes for my entire system. I think the Hurricane is the sweet spot in the AQ lineup also didn't want to drop 35 k for the Dragons. Very happy with the Hurricanes. The storm series was the first power cable where I actually heard a difference. I was a skeptic until this point. It is real. I know many dispute this claim. I could never understand why there would be any difference until I was introduced to the concept that electrons don't travel thru a power cord like water thru a pipe. The energy is actually propagated through an electromagnetic field surrounding the cable. Using this understanding, it made sense to me how cables could actually be different. I think the biggest benefit from the Storm series is a lower noise floor.
Power cable
Hello everyone, curious on thoughts for a power cable for my Pass Labs X250.8 ? At the moment I’m leaning at the Furutech DPS 4.1 cable with the 48M NCF Rhodium AC connectors. The outlet will be the Furutech GTX-D NCF Rhodium as well. I have read a bit on this. Curious on everyone’s thoughts. I have chatted with a few members here already and owner of Vhaudio. Do you guys think the cost is worth it overall ? Thank you

4 years ago Audiobacon did a PC shootout: https://audiobacon.net/2019/08/17/27-audiophile-power-cables-reviewed/amp/ I purchased a few Kimber Kable PowerKord 10 Palladian PCs based on this shootout. |
My Suggestion is not to rush in on a purchase of a Cable from a Branded Supplier. You can learn a lot by trying out variants of the surface areas of the Wire, or strands and strand thickness used to produce the wire. A wire produced to the Spec' H07RN-F, can be bought from many locations at very small monies, the most expensive cost to be incurred at the off set only need be good quality connectors (preferably copper with Gold Plating) The link suggests the Cable can be found for as little as £00.60p per metre (39"). Once it is determined which gauge works best with a device, then only does it seem to make sense that similar gauge wire is sought out from the Brands with the additional methods used for the construction. Also avoid being fooled into thinking, a screened cables is the most important of the considerations, many of the Power Cables that have I know about, through being in communication with others carrying out trials on Power Cables and have discovered the ones that have been thoroughly impressive are unscreened. Screening/Exotic Screening all add cost, the more recognised the Brand, the larger the premium added to have their Screened Cable. |
