"My summation of this review is quite simple really, buy them all together as a set and never look back. Working in unison they tended to create a sound I could live with and not want for anything more."

“Sometimes when we are trying to solve a problem with our system we forget to take a serious look at the power delivery of our system. It truly is amazing what the last six feet of AC "delivery wire' can do to the overall sonic footprint of your system. In my case, this difference was truly astounding!”

“The differences were not subtle. Most obvious was the bass, which seemed deeper and more powerful than with the stock cord. Initially, I thought perhaps the powerChord e provided too much bass, but I soon got over that. What I heard was the deepest and weightiest bass I’ve ever heard from my system”.

“Audience's powerChord is something special among high-end power cords. Uncommonly flexible, the powerChord is refreshingly easy to install and place. Essentially neutral, the powerChord successfully combines high levels of resolution and coherence with a relaxed, musical presentation that draws the listener into the performance. With its overachieving performance and relatively low price, Audience's powerChord merits an unqualified recommendation.”

"For a number of years we have had the pleasure of using the Audience powerChord, and under the right conditions, there is no finer power cord available."

"This power cord was as consistent in its results as any power cord I have ever used... Clean impact. The fastest transients this side of a lightning strike, as contrasts and depth of field reveal a clarity unknown to most electronics until plugged in with the powerChord... With its speed and resolution, the powerChord was surprisingly organic and color free in its presentation."

"I listen critically to every piece of equipment I place in my system, and the powerChord is the only one that has made me forget about the details and let the music take me along for the ride".

"Most competent after-market power cords will clean up the sound, usually by lowering the noise floor. Despite that general but important improvement, some cords then take a step backwards by imposing some measure of tonal degradation. Few of the cords I've tried seem to inject a life-like force to the music. Fewer than that improve timing and flow. Fewer still will broaden your musical horizons by rewarding you with depth of stage, all the while giving you insights on performer technique by allowing your gear to better resolve low level and inner detail in a musical, organic manner. The powerChords on my CD player and amp delivered the goods. Highly recommended for audition".

"... the Audience Conductors and powerChords delivered the musical punch line every time. They even beat out my reference interconnects and power cables. The Audience power cables offer accuracy and musicality beyond their really simple appearance and affordable price."

"I won’t beat around the bush here folks, this cable was my favorite. I felt that it did everything well and succeeded in providing more information, more resolution and was simply more musical to my ears."

"Whatever is going on here, the thing works. I experimented with my Balanced Audio Technology VK-D5 CD player, VK-3i preamp, and VK-6200 multi-channel amplifier, and in each case heard improvements to the noise floor (less garble and grunge), dynamic range (in both low-level nuance and high-level impact), and overall clarity and detail. Music’s sense of time improved, too. The thing doesn’t cost a fortune, either."

“I can lucidly hear the deeper bass, better attack dynamics, deeper and wider soundstage. The difference is there and it matters. What more can audiophile demand?” Matej Isak -- August 08 Read Full Review




"The wonderfully flexible powerChord too, was a winner, significantly cleaning up the sound by lowering the noise floor, opening up the space between instruments, and significantly improving the system's resolution of low level and inner detail."

"Sweet and delicate high frequency response, extreme transient and speed across the audio spectrum".

“The Audience Au24 and powerChord cables share a family resemblance-they balance tonality extremely well, have superb detail (again, in balance; neither too much nor too little of it), and they’re smooth. Not colored-smooth, but just-right-smooth.”
Wes Phillips -- Apr 04   Read Full Review



"The Audience powerChord gives the presentation a sense of dynamic drive and rhythmic pace that is perfect, not overdone or overpowered."
Doug Blackburn -- Mar 03   Read Full Review



"The essential set of enhancements to be discovered from the Audience "powerChord" can all be grouped within that elusive notion of MUSICALITY. I've not yet heard any power chord that accomplishes such an engaging reinforcement of genuinely musical values -- the pace, relaxation, and tonal elements that define the heart of seductive musical experiences -- at such a modest price."

"Designed as a high current, low impedance cable, it compares with or surpasses the top of the heap."

"I was shocked… Backgrounds are blacker. Highs are sweeter. Bass lines are better defined. Vocals have great tone without heavy colorations. Most importantly, my system was more musical."
Carlos Flores - Issue #14 -- 01 Read Full Review

"I heard a sweetness and open musical flow that I did not hear with my other power cords. If you are in the market for a good power cord, this is a place to start."
Francisco Duran -Issue #14 -- 01 Read Full Review

"Immediately, the pace was more musical. The rough edge was gone and voices were sweeter and smoother. While richer, the sound was more natural with more body. The bass took on a seemingly more powerful sound with more energy. It was also more defined and controlled. The music in general seemed to blend into a deliberately molded whole with a delicate laying of the sound. Where it was chaotic before, images and instruments become rock solid in their space and overall coherency was restored. Dynamics improved especially micro dynamics."
