AudioQuest Storm Tornado Source Power Cable - C19

The AudioQuest Storm Tornado Source 16A / 230V C19 power cable is specifically optimized to power analog and digital source components such as DACs, CD players, network streamers, turntables, phono preamps, and line-level preamps.

AudioQuest Storm Tornado Source: Features

This power cable utilizes solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, featuring a drain wire enriched with 6% silver to improve conductivity and reduce distortion.

While many power cables focus solely on low resistance to handle high current demands, characteristic impedance plays an equally crucial role in ensuring optimal performance.

Unlike most cables that compress transients, AudioQuest power cables combine low DC resistance and ZERO characteristic impedance, allowing high-current transients to be delivered without compression.

The Tornado Source is equipped with premium Storm Series plugs, featuring silver-plated conductors direct-plated over Red Copper and Beryllium Copper. These connectors achieve lower distortion and enhanced high-frequency noise dissipation.

AudioQuest Storm Tornado Source: Shielding & DBS

The cable features AudioQuest's proprietary DBS (Dielectric-Bias System). An external battery pack polarizes the cable's shield with a constant 72V electrostatic field. All shields feature a dielectric whose electrical properties directly affect signal integrity.

The DBS shielding (patented by AudioQuest) creates a powerful, stable electrostatic field that polarizes the insulation, effectively reducing noise and preventing RF interference from reaching sensitive electronics.

The DBS batteries offer an estimated lifespan of 10 years, complete with an integrated test button to easily verify their charge.

AudioQuest Storm Tornado Source: Listening Test

Thanks to the uncompressed current delivery provided by the Tornado Source, connected audio sources can fully express themselves, offering a more neutral, natural, and immersive presentation.

Available with C13 and C19 connectors, the Tornado Source sits in AudioQuest's flagship Storm Series above the Thunder and just below the Hurricane, representing the brand's peak engineering.

This cable delivers remarkable transparency and neutrality, highlighting the timbre and subtle nuances of any audio source component.
