“The LSA4+4 sounded like a full-range speaker in every way, but with a coherence and seamlessness that was undoubtedly due to the lack of crossovers and disparate drivers. The midrange was palpable and immediate without sounding forward or emphasized. The top end had a full measure of detail and resolution, without the lack of air and extension I’ve heard in the past from full-range drivers. But the most surprising aspects of the LSA4+4 were its bass and dynamics. The bottom-end exhibited real weight and body, with a wonderful palpability of instrumental texture on acoustic bass. Similarly, the system was very quick, dynamic, and agile, with impact behind musical peaks.”

Affordable Audio Review of Conductor ‘e’, April 2009
Conductor ‘e’, PowerChord ‘e’
“My summation of this review is quite simple really, buy them all together as a set and never look back. Working in unison they tended to create a sound I could live with and not want for anything more.”

Soundstage Review of au24e Cable, February 2009
“In a world of incredible hype, they lived up to Audience’s claim that they create a more convincing illusion of reality and improve soundstaging. My reference cables do that pretty darn well, but the Audience cables improve the system’s performance in those areas”.

Soundstage PowerChord ‘e’ Review
“The differences were not subtle. Most obvious was the bass, which seemed deeper and more powerful than with the stock cord. Initially, I thought perhaps the powerChord e provided too much bass, but I soon got over that. What I heard was the deepest and weightiest bass I’ve ever heard from my system”.

PFO Review of powerChord e by Jeff Parks
“Sometimes when we are trying to solve a problem with our system we forget to take a serious look at the power delivery of our system. It truly is amazing what the last six feet of AC “delivery wire’ can do to the overall sonic footprint of your system. In my case, this difference was truly astounding!”

PFO Review of powerChord e, au24 e by Greg Weaver
“Where they simply crush their competition is in areas like midrange and lower treble bloom, harmonic texture, and “flavor,” (listen to any well-recorded horns) and in overall spatial recreation. All these improvements have synergized to elevate soundstage articulation, image focus, and specificity to an unprecedented, and unbelievable, degree.”
“You owe it to yourself to hear what the Au24-e/powerChord-e system can deliver from your rig before you commit to any other cable products, at ANY price… You’ll most likely find yourself hearing some of the most engaging music your system has ever created, while saving some money in the process. Most musically recommended.”

Positive Feedback 2009 Writer’s Choice Award for Au24 PowerChord
“Overall articulation with this cable in place is unparalleled in my experience; yet the sense of life, of body, of breathing, is almost magical. Extension at both frequency extremes seems limitless. And talk about quiet… music is free to emanate from the darkest, most unobtrusive background I’ve yet heard.”

Jim Merod/Blueport Review of aR12 Conditioners
“Because BluePort’s live recording work is subject to the caprice of strange power sources in a constantly changing variety of venues all across the United States, the challenge of filtering and stabilizing current flow to multiple pieces of high-end recording devices is staggering. I’ve used nearly a dozen different “power conditioners” over the last ten years or so, each promising spectacular sonic results. The only one that delivers sound with utter purity, clarity, and freedom from extraneous electrical grunge and gremlins is the AUDIENCE “adeptResponse” . . . a product, in my overburdened world of recording work, I regard to be on the top rung of contemporary power conditioning excellence. When I have a project that must have all of its elements as technically perfect as possible the adeptResponse twelve outlet box sits at the outset of my “on location” recording rig. I seldom build a work station without it.”

Au24 ‘e’ Audio Interconnects, PowerChord ‘e’ Review by Steve Hoffman
“Audience has kindly sent me various products to audition. Their Au24 “e” audio interconnects are VERY neutral. Pleasing sound that tells the HONEST TRUTH about what your components really sound like while still being tuneful and musical. The “e” powerChord adds dynamics and the Adept Response Teflon power conditioner is great at cancelling noise while bringing out authoritative dynamics hidden in your playback system. The power conditioner is really amazing. If I wasn’t already married, I’d marry it. Add the Au24 “e” speaker cable and you have a true neutral, musical presentation!” Steve Hoffman using all Au24 e and Audience powerChord e cables to remix Nat King Cole album to 3 channel SACD.
