Audience OHNO Au24 SE ICs and Speaker Cables.

Hi all,

As I recently obtained an Audience Au24 SE USB cable, based solely upon the review Robert Harley did awhile back, and I'm glad I made the investment, as to my ears it's a very very very musical experience in which I now have to believe that had I stayed with the ones priced between $150 - $380, I've have never known said differences existed.

Yet, it made me curious enough to have obtained a second one the following day, which are going to be placed on my incoming Emerald Physics Power Flow USB Isolator next week, which is essentially more or less like the iFi Audio Nano and Micro iUSB 3.0 Power | UpTone Audio Regen | W4S Recovery type devices.

But as it made me reevaluate my cabling loom to offer exactly the type of sound in which this cable bought into the mix, I'm now trying my best to find anything out there on the two models as mentioned above, and while I'm aware the OHNO IC and SCs are on the cheaper end of what some might see as High-End ( I see a thread occurring with the likes of the WE 16AWG and lately Duelund 16AWG type cables, which are even cheaper........., seemingly making many music lovers listen differently these days ) so there are times where it appears one can't base their findings upon cost alone, as it seem there are those very rare cases where the cheaper cabling looms, might in fact have a better sense of synergy with certain components, whereas the more expensive ones are trying to hard to dazzle, yet have a certain coloration that makes them less accurate, or as appealing in said systems. I can't say with any certainty, yet I can say I'm open-minded enough to hear what others have to say, based upon what they've heard with either?.

Which then leads me to the more upscale and costlier Au24 SE versions of said line of cables, and while I'm aware there's a newer version called the Au24 SX, I'm sorry to say these are beyond my means ( or wants ) yet I'd appreciate it if those of you whom have owned, or own the Au24 SE ICs | Speaker Cables share your views on how you hear them sonically?. As there doesn't seem to be much here on them at all.

And lastly, while several members here appear to not be taking with Silver plated Copper........., I can say without a doubt in my mind that OCC Silver plated Copper has a warmth | beauty | refinement | textural integrity | means of distinguishing the very tonal shadings of the notes themselves, that are a first in my 37 or so odd years in our shared hobby. And while I spent most of the 80s with Naim Kit, and only knew their recommended cables, as well as the odd Chord Company makes, I can admit I came to cables late beginning in 2001, with the entire Harmonic Technologies cabling loom which consisted of the Truth-Link IC | Pro 11+ LSC | Pro 11+ AC Cord, which I enjoyed until 2009.

At which point, I went over to the following cabling looms - Acoustic Zen | Straight Wire | Crimson Audio, with a few smaller lines here and there, but ending with CRL and Supra, and loving them........., but hopefully with your assistance can see my cabling loom evolving to a point, where I wouldn't feel a desire to change one single component for years and years to come ( come on........, let's be real, how many times has any of us said thus to ourselves, only to feel an itch sometimes within a period of 30 days - 2 months later? ) I'm not looking for ones approval, merely facts based upon what real life consumers whom have purchased either with their own hard earned funds would care to share?..........., I'm all ears.

And, it would be rude if I weren't to say........., Season Greetings to you all, and let's all pray for a safer New Year, where we can all have some sense of peace and unity between all cultures.

Be well,
O_o scar
