Audience Au24se vs Au24sx cables

Just wondering if anyone has upgraded to the new Audience Au24sx from the former reference Au24se interconnects and speaker cables. Any opinions on significant sonic differences?  My understanding is that the upgrade is not retrofittable and requires new purchase. My SE's are only 8 months old and I'm trying to decide whether to invest in the upgrade.  Thanks to all.

Thanks Jafant.  According to Audience, they are cooked at the factory and need 10 to 20 hours to settle down.  I'll keep them connected for another week or so and make my final decision. Trust me, I really want to like these cables!!

Which other brand(s) are you auditioning in your system?

Hi Jafant,

Apart from Nordost and Audience, no other brands tried other than Tellurium Q Black Diamond.  Again, they did not play well with my speakers. 

I have purchased the Transparent Reference cables!

are you going to use an all-Transparent cabling system?

I would strongly recommend that anyone looking for an interconnect cable priced between $1500 and $2000.00 consider the Wywire's platinum. ($1799 for 4 feet). It had been my intention to audition the audience
Au24 SX and the high fidelity  Ct-1 as well as the Wywire Platinum. I auditioned the CT-1 and the Platinums. i was so impressed with the platinums that I purchased the pair. The platinum is now my reference in this price range. I like everything about this cable.
