Have you received your upgraded Audience aR12? I'm thinking of having the upgrade done to my unit. Would you agree with the manufacturer's assessment of the benefits of the upgrade and do you feel it was worth the cost? Thanks.
Audience Mods
Hello Folks,
I am very excited to share new mods from the good folks at Audience. My new aR12-TSSX on the way with these very exciting upgrades.
That's right!!! I waited for more than a month to have these upgrades ready to be implemented on a new or existing line up of conditioners.
Here is the description from the president of Audience, Mr. John McDonald
· The OHNO wiring - Audience has recently developed a new power cord wire designed especially to be used to internally wire each individual outlet with "OHNO" OCC (Oxygen free continuous cast) wire. This wire is also known as mono or single crystal. What that means is that the copper wire is a single copper crystal from end to end instead of convention copper wire that has thousand of crystals per meter. When energy passes from one crystalline barrier to another, energy is converted to heat and is lost. This scenario is eliminated from wire that does not contain the many crystalline barriers. The difference in sound is readily apparent by greater transparency and speed. OHNO comes from the inventor, Dr. Ohno. The improvement in performance from this single upgrade is readily apparent. It is as if a blanket has been removed from the sound. This upgrade represents one of the most significant improvements ever to Audience power conditioners.
· Pure copper Rhodium plated receptacle - Whereas Audience power conditioners have historically been made using the very high quality "do no harm" Hubbell hospital grade duplexes that are made from brass, Audience now offers a higher quality and more conductive rhodium plated copper duplex. The higher conductivity of copper provides greater transparency, speed and improved sound stage.
· Gold plated copper forks - These forks are used to connect the filter capacitors to the duplexes. Whereas Audience has historically used tin over copper forks, Audience has recently developed gold over copper forks that provide greater resolution, a more refined sound and a sense of ease compared to the previous forks.
All of the above features can be upgraded to all previously made Audience power conditioners.
Happy listening!
