Power Cords

I tested and compared Shunyata powercables. I also test each powercable on all the properties they own. Shunyata powercables are all limited in individual focus of voices and instruments.

When you compare them with Purist Audio powercables you will directly hear that voices and instruments become bigger in size and are also less tangible.

I started to test powercables in 2002 and have done many tests with them. They can make a huge difference and are more important than most people think.

I tested all the Audioquest powercables. They were not bad, but not good enough either. Recently they brought out new powercables.

3 weeks ago I received 3 Hurricane powercables. And they are of a totally different quality than they ever made. And are 3 times as thick than in the past.

I am not allowed to talk about them in details yet. But for the money they cost they are the best I tested sofar.

I would give them a try. They are superior to all the Shunyata I auditioned.

Curious why you can't talk about the new AQ cords.....aren't they available on the market currnetly?  There were loads of them in use at RMAF.  Also, what Shunyata cords did you try?

Lets not turn another thread into back and forth arguing! I'm open to any suggestions under $3K for a 2M cord.

We are AQ dealer in Europe and we are told not to give details untill the official release will be given. I respect that.

Most people have no ideas what the properties are of each brand and even cable. Differences are huge. When you have no idea what the properties are of each single part in your audio system you never will understand which properties they own. And why the stage and sound of your audio system is what you hear.

Shunyata is incomplete based on the fact that sound owns more different properties. We have ideas to demonstrate audio to a new and superior level. Then we can proof based on facts what is missing.

We want to use and compare real music and sound vs audiosystems. The way how we work and think we can get a lot more closer to how music sounds in real.

There is so much more information and diversity in recordings than most audio systems can reveal. This information what is often missing creates a much higher emotional experience during listening to music. When an audio system is able to let you hear this extra information.

For example the new AQ conditioners are also found incomplete during my tests. This means that I was missing essential parts on which sound is founded.

In the past we tested the Anaconda and Phyton. The Purist Audio Limited Edition were superior to these cables.

For the first time I think I found a good competitor to the Purist Audio powercables and that are the new AQ powercables.

In 2010 I already said to AQ that they need to use more AWG. I am glad they changed it. Their technique and material were already good, but they were much too thin.
