Wall of cables on Audiodharma break in device. All Audience cables and power cords are burned in 48 hours before shipping.

The Audience cables I received had just gone through a designated "e" upgrade, which according to Audience involves a new method of termination, as well as a special treatment that is they claim dramatically enhances performance. There is also a new, protective outer sheath. Owners of previous Au24 cables can send in their cables for the “e” upgrade starting at $195 for the interconnects.

I decided to evaluate the cables by introducing them one by one into the system. I started with the power cables on the preamp and power amp, then with single ended interconnects between CD player and preamp, and then from preamp to power amp, then finally with the speaker cables. The PowerChord AC cables feature high quality Marinco plugs and Wattgate IEC connectors. The cord is fairly flexible and easy to work with. The interconnects feature custom RCA plugs, which I really liked, and the cable itself is slim, low mass, and for what it’s worth, they are quite attractive. The speaker cables share the same basic characteristics as the IC’s. Mine came terminated with banana plugs. They are the best banana plugs I have encountered to date. They fitted the various speaker terminals I used perfectly and never once came loose.

My first impressions were that the Audience cables produced a very refined, balanced, and neutral presentation. I was surprised how silky smooth they were right out of the box, with no run in. The notion that they could only improve from there was quite appealing. And they did improve. I felt the Audience wiring was highly resolving, offering coherence, excellent bass weight, and natural, extended high frequencies. There seemed to be nothing missing at all and no sense of congestion.

I should note I had some very resolving gear in house during the evaluation period, including, the Audience 2 + 2 monitors, the McIntosh MA6600 integrated amp, and the mighty Thiel CS3.7 floor standers. So if these cables had any deficiencies, even subtle ones, there would be no place to hide. But the Audience loom performed beautifully, creating wonderful, evenly balanced sound regardless of whether they were paired with tubed or solid state components, monitors or floor standing speakers, and regardless of program material.

And speaking of program material I threw everything at the Audience loom to see if they were homogenizing everything. And differences were easily heard. It was easy to hear how knarly a late 80’s CD like Keith Richards, Talk is Cheap was. A real stinker of an early CD sound wise, which is a shame, since it is a funky, rocking effort from Mr. Richards. And conversely, new, high quality recordings like Robert Plant’s Band of Joy, and Lizz Wright’s Fellowship sounded amazing.
