“I can say with certainty the Adept Response is among the elite of AC conditioners, and if you’ve not tried one, or haven’t had much success with other brands, then you need to give Audience a call.”

The Absolute Sound Review of aR12 adept Response Conditioners
“The Adept Response made a phenomenal difference in my system. Fundamentally, it improved the clarity of recordings by eliminating a previously undetected lack of definition, without introducing any brightness or most importantly any coloration. That is worth repeating. I did not hear any coloration from the Adept Response or any obscuring of the rhythm of the music. The Adept Response just made every recording I listened to more natural and in turn more musically engaging.”

Bound for Sound Reviews of PowerChord
“For a number of years we have had the pleasure of using the Audience powerChord, and under the right conditions, there is no finer power cord available.”
Martin DeWulf : #171 – Jun ’06 Print Version
“The powerChord is about as close to a no-brainer as I can think of; it has a way of consistently breathing life into whatever it is feeding.”
Marc Yun : #170 – Mar ’06 Print Version
“After all these years, still one of the best AC line cords one can buy capable of bringing out the dynamic best in a component, this is the power cord that I go to when nothing else seems to work. One of my favorite cords on line level devices, but works well on amps too.”
Martin DeWulf : #164 – Apr ’05
“This power cord was as consistent in its results as any power cord I have ever used… Clean impact. The fastest transients this side of a lightning strike, as contrasts and depth of field reveal a clarity unknown to most electronics until plugged in with the powerChord… With its speed and resolution, the powerChord was surprisingly organic and color free in its presentation.”

10 Audio Review of Au24 Cables, May 2006
“I could say this ten different ways and possibly still not effectively communicate this cable’s large improvement over any other speaker cable I have heard.”

Au24 Testimonial, May 2006
“From Magnum Dynalab to Cary Audio Design, from Acoustic Zen to VAC, I have had the pleasure of dealing with some very fine companies, some very fine individuals. None have provided the service nor can compare to what I’ve just witnessed. My cables which were just mailed to Audience last Friday, which have crossed the continent twice, are today back in my system. I don’t know that I deserved new cables, but these seem to be, and I thank you. In any event, for two-three years I have used AZ Silver Reference between my Cary Preamp and VAC amps, wish I would have changed them out for yours long ago. A very nice sound indeed. Thanks for being so kind, so quick and thanks for a very fine cable.”

Bound for Sound Adept Response Review
“Conclusion. The Audience Adept Response line conditioner is a beautiful machine to gaze upon and use. Unlike so many other line conditioners with substantial prices, the Audience does give one reason to feel that the hardware involved justifies the price charged.”

Au24 Testimonial, March 2006
“I added a 1/2 meter Au 24 IC between my preamp and cd player….MY GOD, JOHN! IT’S LIKE THE CABLE ISN’T EVEN THERE. Granted, the Au24 is the most expensive cable I’ve had in my system, but I’ve had pretty darn good cables in the past. The difference with the Au24s is almost sublime. I’ve even tried them on my daughter’s system, as well as my neighbor’s, and the results are the same. They just remove layers of grain and hash that you didn’t even realize were there. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited by an addition to my system. John, you’ve made a believer out of me. When I can afford it, my whole system will be hooked up with Au24.”

Soundstage Reviews for Au24 Cables, 2004, 2006
“Can you tell that I like this stuff? My customers certainly do. But don’t trust me — I’m only one set of ears. Find a dealer and take some Audience cables home for a try.”
Bill Brooks – Jan ’06 Read Full Review
“Its sound is fast, open and transparent. The Au24 S/PDIF cable proved to be something of a sonic enigma — its signature was only identifiable in relation to the other cables. On its own, it offers a large portion of every positive attribute and no discernible sins. Most notably, compared to the I2Digital cable, the Au24 portrays density along with the speed and openness. Images are full and weighty; in video terms, I would say that the picture is more color-saturated. All of the detail is there, but the perspective is different — the music is portrayed in a more tangible way.”

“The Audience Au24 interconnects and speaker cables are commendably neutral and natural, and they help you forget about chasing the pot o’ gold at the end of the audiophile rainbow. These are attributes that the best cable should embody. I expected a cable so tiny to limit dynamics, but nothing like this happened – even with amplifiers up to 250wpc. Also, spouses and decorators are going to find a small-diameter cable like this a lot more domestically acceptable than a music hose or other visually distracting cables.”
Doug Blackburn – Mar ’03 Print Version
“They are among the best cables at any price… given an honest chance (as honest as they are in their signal delivery), you very well may find yourself regarding them as cables that put a smile on your face and joy before your ears.”
