“… the smallest Teflon-capped Audience conditioner has elevated itself from accessory to essential, enhancing the sound and my overall musical enjoyment as much or more than any other component upgrade I’ve made.”

John,
Received the cables last week. I don’t listen to records (LPs) casually very often. So I was alert from the start picking up as many clues as I could. Initially I was impressed how the music presented all the frequencies not just opening up the top end as was indicated would happen. Yes that happened but I noted that I could hear into the middle ranges with more clarity as well as the bass coming and going quicker and in tune..
Several days were devoted to very pleasant listening until yesterday…… When I put on the remastered Joni Mitchell “Blue” album from Classic Records? Joni Mitchell records can be problematic because her voice in those days went clearly from alto to mezzo frequently within the same phrase. Listening, the mezzo has hither-to come out as shrill. Well, shrillness did not appear yesterday and instead I heard how well controlled her voice actually was during this period. Needless to say, the emotional impact is much stronger when you are not so distracted.
So.. Yeah I like the new phono cables a lot.

The sound of the aR6-TS was, in a word, stunning. Eyes bulged. Ears stretched out and snapped back. This wolf whistled. My mouth drooled. I wore my Depends. I wondered where the heck all this new information was coming from.

“For existing powerChord owners, the low cost of upgrading makes the ‘e’ version perhaps the greatest bargain in all of high-end audio.”

“I said in my aR12-T review that in my experience, this degree of overall system improvement simply cannot be achieved with ANY other individual investment, regardless of the dollar amount of the investment, and that claim is even more true with the aR12-TS.”

“Bottom line: The aR12-TS is the best power conditioner I’ve heard.”

“A power cord that touches all the right bases. Its neutrality, low noise floor, and almost preternatural retrieval of spatial and ambient information are what you would expect in a TAS Product of the Year Award. But the Au24 also offers a strong sense of micro-resolution, honing in on sonic images with incisive focus and reproducing them with seemingly effortless immediacy. Last but not least, the Au24 powerChord is one of the more flexible high-end cords available, making it very handy for angled runs.”
