Interested in hearing others' journey with their cable upgrades and how you landed where you are.
I upgraded along the way while changing other equipment. It was actually power cord evaluations that landed me with standardizing on Audience cables. I switched from Shunyata PLCs and power cords to the Audience line. Now have 90 percent of the system with Au24SE interconnects and "e" and "au24e" power cords into a AR12TSS power line conditioner. I wrote about my impressions of it over on A'gon. One of the few times when I put something in my system that I knew I had to have and didn't want to continue without. I have one tonearm cable that is the Tara Labs Zero, which has a great grounding scheme that has served me well, and I have a Harmonic Tech power cord specialized for my phono preamp, and a Harmonic Tech set of speaker cables. The Audience house sound (or lack of signature sound) is good to my ears. I'm sure there are brands that would be as good or maybe even better, but I see some interconnect prices and wonder just how much precious metal is being used. I used to run Cardas Golden Reference and a lot of Harmonic Tech cables. Audience brought more air, transient speed, and quieter noise floor. I've heard great things about Synergistic Research, especially their new line....
