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 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.
Wait a minute I forgot that I have several DPS 4 power cables. These are Furutech's!
I made these using the top of the line Furutech NCF plugs and IEC's. They really do have the power! I use these in areas that I think need the shielding that these cables provide. Such as, with my  Oppo 205 and with my JL subs.
I still prefer the Cerious Matrix on the majority of my equipment though.

I use Shunyata power cords on all my equipment except for my Esoteric player where I use An Acrolink cord.  I thought ( I could be very wrong) that T and A makes power cords?  If they do, why not try one of theirs?
B34.....there was a power cable shootout on the AudioBacon website....over two dozen brands analyzed. Hope this helps.
Great recommendation on the power cable shootout.
I'd also like to know what experience you have with different power cords. I'm not a cynic when it comes to the benefits of upgrading. I am wondering if there's a noticeable difference between a $500 cord and $3000. Unlike components, the quality of the actual materials used in, say, a Cullen Crossover II or ZenWave's cords and one of the big boys like AudioQuest/Shunyata/Furutech is a zero. Components use better materials with little to no whizbang creating notably higher costs. These hyper expensive power cables seem to leverage the whizbang for increased cost.

Maybe I've just created another thread... I'm curious to the OP's experience so we can give better options.
