Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line?

audiophile1,

Nice system with great room layout.

Break-in with continuous load within a week you are pretty much there. They do open up with usage. As with previous lines with Audience, the mids jump out at you in a good way. With the Front Row the highs do just as much. The body of the mids and clarity of the highs has a realism I enjoy. 

As the name states "Front Row" and you can take that literally. You move up closer to the stage with these cables which I really like.

I responded as we both share some common components. I use Pass Labs Class A amps and a Bricasti DAC.

On my list, is to get two Front Row PC for the Pass monos. They are rated  over double the current I need. 

Thanks duramax747 for the compliments and the info!

The FrontRow replaced AU24SX. I was kind of disappointed at first. Sound was dull and lacked air. Mids were congested too. They are coming around though. No changes in the bass which is one area where there is a definite gain in texture and depth over the SX, but definitely cleared up the mids so far. Treble is improving as well. 

Running signal thru them 24/7. Will wait few weeks to draw final conclusions. 

@audphile1: Any update on your experience so far with the Front Row cables?

Yup. Unbelievably awesome!!!! By far the best my system ever sounded. They managed to improve on already excellent AU24SX with better resolution, more focus and texture, while retaining that natural tone Audience is known for.
And to add, there’s very good synergy with my Nordost Tyr 2 XLRs. Overall I couldn’t be more pleased.

As a side note…I got these as a demo/open box. They didn’t have enough hours on them and it took over 100hrs to settle. I didn’t listen much just played the system round the clock at levels that wouldn’t disturb anyone in the house. So that’s pretty much it.

where are the Audience and Nordost cable systems placed in your set up?

Happy Listening!
