“While this cable is not inexpensive, at $1,100, it’s not crazy money, either. I’m keeping it as a reference in my AVID Volvere SP/Funk Firm FX•R/ Denon DL103R combination; it’s that spectacular”.

“As I continued listening, it became clear that the Audience’s levels of midrange and lower-treble resolution were standard-setting — again, that vanishing noise floor paid big dividends in the listening chair.
The upper midrange and lower treble were nuanced, finely shaded, and highly resolved, presenting harmonic decay and inner detail that I’d never heard with any other conditioner.
The decays of the piano’s upper registers, previously obscured by a fine layer of glare, were more fully illuminated and harmonically developed with the aR12-TS in the system. I felt I could see into the lowest, previously obscured levels of harmonics of pianos, guitars, cymbals, and even voices. Piano lovers will love what the Audience does. ”

“And, in addition to what eliminating grunge does for the background, the improvements in dynamics, timbre, the soundstage and imaging are not subtle.”

“Audience ClairAudient 2+2 Loudspeaker – A Single-Driver Solution” by Dick Olsher/Absolute Sound, July/August 2011, is now online.

“… 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.”
