“The frontRow suite achieves the implicit goal of every serious high-end review—fidelity to the source. It is uncanny how they make the footprint of electrical devices almost undetectable, bringing you closer to the source. To a very large extent the frontRow speaker cables and interconnects step aside. (The powerChords do it, too, but have more color and personality.) The frontRow suite completely satisfies the primary Golden Rule.”

A shortage of outlets getting you down? The Audience forte V8 Power Strip is the ticket. It supplies eight hospital-grade AC outlets, each separately tied with high-purity 14AWG, stranded copper wire to the buss bars in a star-ground configuration. The entire electric circuit has been treated cryogenically, as well. The result is impeccable performance, with no discernible loss, change, or degradation vis-à-vis wall outlets. If anything, backgrounds seemed quieter and low-level transparency more fully resolved. Bass response firms up and conveys greater control; there is a little more body and air to vocal images; soundstage dimensionally and ambience retrieval are also enhanced. The forte V8 is virtually unbreakable and not liable to break the bank, either. Throw in Audience’s terrific new forte F3 powerChord as part of the deal, and you have an easy recommendation – and our AC Power Product of the Year Award winner. (311)
“Or you can be a little more discriminating and opt for something that’s consistent with audiophile expectations, is unbreakable, and is not liable to break the bank.”
