6 Moons Reviews for PowerChord, 2004


“Most competent after-market power cords will clean up the sound, usually by lowering the noise floor. Despite that general but important improvement, some cords then take a step backwards by imposing some measure of tonal degradation. Few of the cords I’ve tried seem to inject a life-like force to the music. Fewer than that improve timing and flow. Fewer still will broaden your musical horizons by rewarding you with depth of stage, all the while giving you insights on performer technique by allowing your gear to better resolve low level and inner detail in a musical, organic manner. The powerChords on my CD player and amp delivered the goods. Highly recommended for audition”.

“… the Audience Conductors and powerChords delivered the musical punch line every time. They even beat out my reference interconnects and power cables. The Audience power cables offer accuracy and musicality beyond their really simple appearance and affordable price.”

On Hifi Review of PowerChords, Au24 Cables


“The Audience Au24 and powerChord cables share a family resemblance-they balance tonality extremely well, have superb detail (again, in balance; neither too much nor too little of it), and they’re smooth. Not colored-smooth, but just-right-smooth.”

Absolute Sound Review of PowerChord, November 2002


“Whatever is going on here, the thing works. I experimented with my Balanced Audio Technology VK-D5 CD player, VK-3i preamp, and VK-6200 multi-channel amplifier, and in each case heard improvements to the noise floor (less garble and grunge), dynamic range (in both low-level nuance and high-level impact), and overall clarity and detail. Music’s sense of time improved, too. The thing doesn’t cost a fortune, either.”

Stereo Times Reviews of PowerChord, August 2002, December 2000


“The essential set of enhancements to be discovered from the Audience “powerChord” can all be grouped within that elusive notion of MUSICALITY. I’ve not yet heard any power chord that accomplishes such an engaging reinforcement of genuinely musical values — the pace, relaxation, and tonal elements that define the heart of seductive musical experiences — at such a modest price.”
Jim Merod : Most Wanted Components – Aug’ 02  Print Version

“Designed as a high current, low impedance cable, it compares with or surpasses the top of the heap.”

Audio Musings Reviews for PowerChord, 2001


“I was shocked… Backgrounds are blacker. Highs are sweeter. Bass lines are better defined. Vocals have great tone without heavy colorations. Most importantly, my system was more musical.”
Carlos Flores – Issue #14 – ’01 Read Full Review

“I heard a sweetness and open musical flow that I did not hear with my other power cords. If you are in the market for a good power cord, this is a place to start.”
Francisco Duran -Issue #14 – ’01 Read Full Review

“Immediately, the pace was more musical. The rough edge was gone and voices were sweeter and smoother. While richer, the sound was more natural with more body. The bass took on a seemingly more powerful sound with more energy. It was also more defined and controlled. The music in general seemed to blend into a deliberately molded whole with a delicate laying of the sound. Where it was chaotic before, images and instruments become rock solid in their space and overall coherency was restored. Dynamics improved especially micro dynamics.”
