“This was the case with the adeptResponse Power Conditioner. The aR12-T4 doesn’t shift the frequency response one way or another or change the aural picture you already have. Instead, it’s a matter of good being made better. If you already have good sound, the aR12-T4 will make it better by applying the finishing touches, fleshing it out, and completing it.”

“Both the clean and dirty sounds were louder and punchier than simply plugging into my wall receptacle. Micro dynamics were more dramatic and sustain—the true secret to the tones of classic rock icons such as Eddie Van Halen, Angus Young and Jimmy Page were much improved. “

“Clarity and improved imaging were there in spades throughout, but it was the fact that the full frequency spectrum was presented in ways previously unheard that was riveting. Equally, the Audience combo impressively lifted the lid on dynamic prowess and presence. Resulting instrumental personalities – both individual and collective – seemed to be placed perfectly within the listening room.”

Audience AdeptResponse aR12-T4
$11,400 (Au24 SE-i powerChord upgrade, $1735; Au24 SX powerChord upgrade, $4200; frontRow powerChord upgrade $6300)
To Greg Weaver’s ear, Audience’s aR12-T4 power conditioner represents a substantial improvement over its predecessors, so much so that it would be fair to say that it borders on an order of magnitude advance. This is a world-class device, deserving your full attention. Give one a listen- perhaps the 6- or 2-socket variety- but be prepared to buy it. If you are anything like GW, there is no chance it will come out of your system once it is in place! GW, 268

Audience forte V8
$899 (includes forte f3 powerChord)
The Audience forte V8 power strip gets right down to business with eight hospital-grade AC outlets, each wired separately with high-purity, 14AWG copper. Plus the entire electric circuit has been treated cryogenically. The V8 performed impeccably, with no discernible losses, changes, or degradations versus wall outlets. If anything, backgrounds seemed quieter and low-level transparency more fully resolved. Bass response also firmed up and conveyed greater control. Soundstage dimensionality and ambience retrieval were enhanced, to boot. Impeccable in construction quality, virtually unbreakable, and not liable to break the bank, the V8 ships with the exceptional forte f3 powerChord. All in all, al no-brainer. NG, 311

A shortage of outlets getting you down? The Audience forte V8 Power Strip is the ticket. It supplies eight hospital-grade AC outlets, each separately tied with high-purity 14AWG, stranded copper wire to the buss bars in a star-ground configuration. The entire electric circuit has been treated cryogenically, as well. The result is impeccable performance, with no discernible loss, change, or degradation vis-à-vis wall outlets. If anything, backgrounds seemed quieter and low-level transparency more fully resolved. Bass response firms up and conveys greater control; there is a little more body and air to vocal images; soundstage dimensionally and ambience retrieval are also enhanced. The forte V8 is virtually unbreakable and not liable to break the bank, either. Throw in Audience’s terrific new forte F3 powerChord as part of the deal, and you have an easy recommendation – and our AC Power Product of the Year Award winner. (311)
“Or you can be a little more discriminating and opt for something that’s consistent with audiophile expectations, is unbreakable, and is not liable to break the bank.”
