Comparisons of Audience and VH Flavor 1 PC's

For my Audio Refinement Complete Apha CDP, I'm thinking of one of these two cables. I'm interested in differences/similarities between them.
I've tried the stock cord (rather lifeless), Signal Cable Magic Power (better bass punch, very open/transparent and dynamic, but a bit too tipped up in balance, $40 Soundstring (all around pretty good, but not transparent enough).

Thanks

I tried the Audience and VH Audio Flavor 4 on my DAC. The Flavor 4 was better. The Audience was a bit more laid back, not a bad thing, but I was looking for a little more authority, which the Flavor 4 delivered, especially with bass.

If you can, get the Flavor 4 versus the Flavor 1.

I agree the Audience is very detailed and also very flexible. The VH Audio Flavor 4 is more stiff and may be hard to maneuver in a rack.

Mechans - yes I meant warm when I said laid back, which as I said is not a bad thing. I actually use the Audience on my transport. It just did not do as well on my DAC.

As we all know, everything is system dependent. YMMV
