Audioquest Hurricane vs Cardas Clear Beyond vs Audience SX power cables
I checked that review out as well, but many people seem to not agree with his findings... system dependance I guess, or maybe his review system is not that reference level...For example, the Hurricane source is described as a cable that would make... 
Audioquest thunder vs tornado HC powercords
@gshepardbuster and gdnrbob, thx for the info... I am sure the Hurricanes are the best, but the step in price is really big from the Tornado, so I was wondering if they are really worth the diference from  the Tornado...
