“I received the speaker cables Monday afternoon. Installed and started listening at 6pm. Thanks for taking the “HIFI” out of my living room and putting me into the club. This new cable is such an improvement! I can hear so much more music that it seems that the beat has slowed down. Also, I am now certain the anticipated subwoofer purchase will not be necessary. Thanks again.”

“It will cost you less than $50 for the parts, and will add about $1,000 of refinement to the sound quality of the entire system. Voices and instruments sound more real, enhancing the “you are there” sensation. I can’t stress to you what a huge difference these little parts make.”

“…the Conductor is the closest thing to a best buy in this group.”

“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.”

“Okay, you win. After about 40 hours of playing the AU24 cables, they blow away the “C” cables best model. I have listened to Roger Waters Live and several dozen other CD’s I am very familiar with. Yours have a definite edge in dynamics in all frequency ranges.”

“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.”

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

“The Audience cord on my transport has been doing some good things! What I like about it is the way it enhances the bass! My system already had the right amount of bass and tightness and rated at 20hz to 20khz! What the Audience has done is to make it more tuneful, articulate while giving it more punch but never sounding bloated or muddy! In fact, the bass is fast and controlled! I was even surprised with it’s upper frequency performance! Not bright, not too forward or too laid back, just nice and smooth and sweet! I did compare the Audience to the PS Audio Mini Lab! The Mini Lab has been said to enhance the bass and mid-bass area which is true! Here the Audience equals or betters the Mini Lab! It also does what the Mini Lab does but again, tighter, controlled and tuneful! The Audience makes the Mini Lab sound a bit slow, bloated, thick and muddy! Up till now, I’m still hearing the Audience improve as it plays and wonder whether the 100hrs is sufficient! From the looks of things, I believe the Audience probably needs maybe something like 200hrs and that too, only maybe! I have already accumulated more 100hrs and it is still improving!”

“I won’t beat around the bush here folks, this cable was my favorite. I felt that it did everything well and succeeded in providing more information, more resolution and was simply more musical to my ears.”

“Since they do not call attention to themselves, trying to describe the sound of the Audience cables is difficult. They simply do a very good job of conveying the music. There are many products on the market today that claim to do this but fail to deliver. Audience products perform as advertised. If your goal is to achieve a sonic signature that is balanced from top to bottom with that elusive truth-of-timbre, then the Audience line belongs on your short list”.
