My ears must be different - I have a different experience with Cardas Golden Reference versus Audience Au24 cables in my system. From power cords to interconnects to power line conditioners, I have found nothing that compares as favorably to Audience. Audience cables are neutral, harmonically accurate, fast, dynamic, and throw a bigger sound stage compared to Cardas GR. I like Cardas -- it is a decent cable or I wouldn't use it, but it is not as accurate and musical as the Audience cables. There is a bigger more accurate sound with Audience. I have 2-3 Cardas cables in my system, but where it matters most I have Audience. My goal is to standardize all cables with Audience. In fact, Audience is #1. Harmonic Technology is #2. And then comes Cardas.
Audience Au24e vs Cardas Golden Reference
Can someone familiar with both of these cables describe the differences between them? I'm especially interested in speaker cables. Both Cardas and Audience are often mentioned together as great choices. I know Cardas, what can I expect from Audience? Your opinions will be much appreciated.
