I see prices from 125 up to 300 dollars for the same cord, but the lower price is some kind of B grade mentioned above.
Never heard of that.

Anyway, looking forward to hearing it.

God Bless,
Wayne

Hi, Wayne

Yup, that's the one. The Audience Forte F3 is a real bargain, steps up and performs more like more expensive PC's, and that is a good sale price!. I paid $149 for mine. Length is a respectable 5.25 ft. AntiCable Reference 3's are $330 for 3-5 ft lengths. Nordost Red Dawns and Heimdall's are $365 and $630 respectively for 39 inch lengths and prices go up quickly for longer ones.

I do think the Nordost's work best on my receiver, but that is subject to MY gear, room and listening preferences. The Audience plays well with the big boys. Thanks, Anthem, for discovering them and being the first to try them!

Guess we'll find out what one sounds like on your gear, 'cause that's what I'm bringing!

Didn't notice the B stock statement. I got mine through Dedicated Audio. Just looked there, on sale for $125 also, no B stock designation. The real deal I guess. Same as the one Anthem also got.

Thanks Rick,
I think I remember it is Charlie that used Audience first for his expensive speaker cables.
Not sure.
Looking forward to trying it and sorta relieved that it is not super expensive.
Just in case I have to make sure you "forget" to take it home!!!!

God Bless,
Wayne

I'll be trying the Nordost Heimdall on receiver/Nordost Blue Heaven on Oppo combination before I leave. If I really like that, then the Audience would go into my back-up bin when I get back (and no, I don't have two barns full of back-up gear and CD's like Anthem! :laugh:)
So, I may well WANT to forget to bring it back, and let you play with it on gear to your heart's content. Back-up bins can wait.

Hey Guys:
You mention B Stock PC's. In some cases there are scratch marks on the plugs, or a compression mark on the jacket, or the molded ends are a little hazy...nothing to compromise performance. A Audience Forte (B Stock) can be had for $125.00 at TheCableco.com

Rick why aren't you taking a AntiCable Reference 3? That's where it all started...

Rick: judy going along?
I haven't been on a plane since 77-78. If you could, the wife and I would like to hear what's going to take place between Texas and Thailand. You will board in Texas...what's next? Roughly how long time wise to Waynes front door?

I hope you two Gents can learn from each other. I think it would be a Blast, it's just so far away.
D-Sonic m3a-600m Mono > McIntosh MC152 > Primaluna ProLogue Premium Preamp > Oppo UDP205 > Decware ZLC > Triton Reference > Isoacoustics Gaia 2 > Canare 4S11 Speaker Cables > Audience Forte 3, Anticable L3 & Shunyata Venom PC's

Every great performance deserves an Audience!
