Audience Front Row vs Cardas Clear


Has anyone had the opportunity to compare these two cables on Magnepans? How do they compare? I’m currently using AQ Argent between my Diablo 300 and Maggie 3.7x.

I use Cardas Clear speaker cables in one system and Audience AU24 (the originals) in another.  They’re both very good cable manufacturers.  With Cardas, even their newer cables, the flavor will be a bit warmer than most cables, including Audience.  The Clear are also much more detailed than Cardas was originally known for. The Audience AU24 seem more even handed than Cardas.  I would expect the Front Row to be more transparent than the Clear.   I’ve heard the Front Row in other systems and they are more detailed than AU24’s.  Side by side in the same system, I would expect similar results.  With your system, I think either one would be a good match so it really comes down to personal preference.
