AudioQuest Hurricane HC 2M
AudioQuest Hurricane HC 2M mains cable designed to limit the electrical noise transmitted to the power supply of an audio-video system.
Description
The Hurricane HC 2M is a mains cable from AudioQuest, designed to replace the standard power cord supplied with audio-video components. It connects between the wall socket and an amplifier, player, regenerator or any other component in the chain, with the aim of improving the quality of the electrical power delivered to the circuits.
The alternating current distributed by the public grid is not free of noise: this noise is then compounded by radio-frequency interference picked up directly by the power cord itself, and subsequently transmitted to the components' power supplies and to the circuit's ground. This phenomenon generates distortion and can mask low-level detail in the audio signal. The Hurricane HC was designed to tackle this problem at the source, where a standard mains cable or even a conventional power conditioner show their limits.
This cable is aimed at hi-fi and home cinema enthusiasts looking to optimise the electrical supply to their setup, particularly on systems already sensitive to detail, where every source of parasitic noise can translate into a loss of sonic transparency. It will suit those who have already invested in quality components and wish to ensure that the power supply does not become the weak link in the chain.
What to check before buying used
Check the integrity of the connectors at each end: the mains plug pins and the IEC connector body should show no play, no signs of overheating and no oxidation, as this would compromise electrical contact. Also inspect the sheath and shielding along the full length of the cable, looking for pronounced kinks, cuts or damaged braiding near the ends, the areas most subject to stress during handling. A connector that no longer fits firmly into the wall socket or the component is a sign of wear that should not be overlooked.
