    Accusound

    Accusound seems to have no traction on this form. I think that might be an oversight . The Sales manager for Accusound came to my home to A/B against what I had last week. I thought it was to be a waste of time but agreed as it would only validate my previous purchases . I now have some XD speaker cables on the way replacing cables that retail for double of the XD and expect my order to expand.
    I will reiterate that I had no expectation to replace as I was incredibly happy with all my cable products

    So what are you replacing and why? What is the cost delta?

    I was hesitant to say because I did not want to insult anyone. First he wanted to A/B in my main system against Transparent Reference GEN 5. He only brought banana so could not connect to the Wilsons. We did swap out the Reference XLR interconnects for the XD interconnect and it bettered the Transparent . Next we did try against my brand new Audience Front row speaker cable ($5600 list) in my second system, Accusound ( $3000 list) was better. We then added Accusound XD interconnects ( one meter $5000 list THIS WAS NOT A TYPO) . The combination of Accusound XD speaker and interconnect was the equivalent to a major component change. My main reservation with Accusound is the 8' speaker cable list for $3000 and the equivalent level 1 meter interconnect is $5000. I don't understand their math.

    I think I was reading about these over on WBF.
    Thanks for the feedback. What do you like better than the Audience Front Row cables? I was planning on auditioning the Front Row cables, eventually.

    I have loved Audience for years and years owning many generations , AU24, AU24E, AU24SE, AU24SX and now Front row. It just sounds right to me so I just kept with it. The Accusound changed it for me. It sounds like what you might think involving silver in the design would do. Everything just opened up. It reminds me of the short time I put DH Labs Silver sonic interconnects in the same system, very lively. I only put them it that system as I was waiting for my Audience AU24SX interconnects. I liked the DH Labs very much but wanted to keep the synergy of one cable manufacturer . I am rethinking that
