High Current VS Dedicated Source Cables : Audioquest


I already own a AQ HC Hurricane for my tube amp but now looking for a source cable and very curious about the sonic qualities between the HC and dedicated source cables for components.

I ordered a Audioquest Tornado Source cable (16 gauge) a month ago and just picked it up today except they sent the wrong one. The one sent is the Tornado High Current which is a thicker 12 gauge cable. I'm trying to decide if I should sent it back. Sonic quality is my only concern between the two. Anyone have any experience with source vs HC cables?

Thanks!

Thanks for your thoughts. Going to give it a few more days but I’m finding the low end a little soft with the HC cable. Not sure if it’s right as a source cable. I think I may return this Tornado 2m HC and exchange and for a 1m Hurricane Source.
