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.”

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.

PowerChord Review by Positive Feedback


“Audience’s powerChord is something special among high-end power cords. Uncommonly flexible, the powerChord is refreshingly easy to install and place. Essentially neutral, the powerChord successfully combines high levels of resolution and coherence with a relaxed, musical presentation that draws the listener into the performance. With its overachieving performance and relatively low price, Audience’s powerChord merits an unqualified recommendation.”

PowerCord Receives Stereophile Recommended Component


“The wonderfully flexible powerChord too, was a winner, significantly cleaning up the sound by lowering the noise floor, opening up the space between instruments, and significantly improving the system’s resolution of low level and inner detail.”

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.”
