Audience PowerChord e or se

Excellent question. I have 2 Audience Powerchords "e" and have been waiting for a review of the "se" version to
help me decide whether to send them to Audience for upgrade
(Expensive)or to upgrade the connectors myself at lower cost.

I had my power chord e's upgraded to SE as well as my AU24e RCA interconnects. Well worth the money but I did not test them separately, upgraded all at the same time. Much better fine detail, bass better defined and more present. I really liked the new Cardas plug ends on the powerchords. The jackets were changed as well. Overall all new chords, I am happy and felt the cost worth it.

Guys,

I'm sure it's system dependent but I preferred the e over the SE. I found the e to sound more natural, fuller and richer in texture; the SE was thinner sounding in comparison and I didn't care for them and they were fully broken-in on my Audiodharma and allowed to settle into my system after a few weeks...

Guys,

I want to say that either the November or December 2013 issue of Stereophile, features a segment on the new Audience 'se' cables/cords.
