Hello John, Last night for the first time I tried out your digital interconnect in my high end system, with quite remarkable results. The transformation in ‘reality’ was so astonishing that I felt the need to write you briefly to express my pleasure at this discovery and to offer all due fully deserved praise to you and your team for producing such a fine component. Maybe this is a one-off success, who knows but I am mighty tempted to try some more of your cables in the hope that they also have been devised by Merlin himself. The downside is that your brand is little known over this side of the Pond and cables not easy to come by to try. I am grateful to Joshua of Ears Nova of NYC for setting me on this path… Kind regards,

A few comments about the new “E” version of the Au24 interconnect after an initial listen. The basic character of the cable is retained. Tonally very neutral. Timbrally accurate. Just gets out of the way. Where I hear the big difference is in what I’ll refer to as speed or timing. To me the cable sounds very fast-perhaps warp speed. By this I mean leading edge transients on instruments like cymbals, acoustic guitar and piano are portrayed with speed and clarity adding a sense of realism. On acoustic bass the leading edge of notes seem crisper and tightly controlled. The initial slap heard before the thud of a kick drum is more apparent. Sibilants are not exaggerated but seem clearer and more natural. Sounds seem to emanate with clarity from a more focused space within the soundstage. Harmonics are portrayed without excessive bloom which will probably make for a good match with tube based systems such as mine. I suppose this all hinges on getting leading edge transient information timed properly so that the ear/brain mechanism can interpret it as more lifelike. Overall, very impressive.

Dear John, I made a plunge of getting the Au24 interconnect (XLR) a couple of weeks ago and guess what? The sound was amazing. The bass was cleaner, deeper and more accurate. The treble was sweet, natural and neutral. The background noise was lowered tremendously. The music was more involving and intimate. I can hear more detail that was not heard before. My system has improved greatly with the purchased of the Maestro loudspeaker cables 3 months ago and with the Au24 IC in place, it has transformed my system into a winning formula! It have to be heard to believe. Exceptional.
Cheers,

Dear Mr. McDonald, I have just received my new Adept Response aR6 yesterday and I can tell you that, though I understand the unit needs at least 100 hours of brake-in in order for the listener to experience the full potential of the conditioner, I can already hear a distinct difference in my music system. In one word,the overall sound of my system is more engaging and there is a glow around the performance that I did not experience before. I congratulate you on a superb piece of equipment, which is going to enhance dramatically my entire music system and increase my listening enjoyment. I am simply excited about the whole experience! Cheers,

Dan, The aR6 continues to flabbergast me everyday.  I had no idea a power conditioner could elevate my entire system by this order of magnitude.  It is special for sure.
