Yes, cables are very system dependent. I am sure the Hurricanes will shine in other setups.
I was prepared to buy at least some Hurricanes, due to the glowing revieuws here and on other forums.
It was a disappointment that they did not work the way I wanted to in my setup, so I had to look...
Main for me was the lack of musicality/no emotion involved due to the to me too lean/clean character
Not the widest or deepest stage compared to Crsytal Cable Ultra Diamond, which has by far also the more refined treble
Missing some of the deepest lows
Well, after hearing the Audioquest Hurricanes I was in shock how much better the Crystal Cable Ultra Diamond powercord was.
No contest, it was immediately clear. Plays on a different level altogether here.
YMMV as usual.
