Replace au24 speaker cable???

I had Au24's and just changed to Stealth Hybrid MLT and was very pleased with the improvements. It provided greater detail/quieter background yet sounded more relaxed with a larger soundstage. A friend of mine commented that it sounded fuller/richer sounding but more detailed. It is not dark at all but it is also not bright, very neutral actually. Very natural sounding and I would highly recommend them.

Well, I too have just upgraded beyond the AU24 speaker cables. (Seems like a lot of us have upgraded from them recently.) Before I state what I moved up to, I should state that I believe the AU24 speaker cables are very good speaker cables, especially for the money. (i.e. a very good bang for the buck!)

That being said, I have moved on up to the Jena Labs Pathfinder speaker cables (bi-wired). This cable seems to have better detail and resolution, and is slightly better in the treble response especially. I like them a lot. (Of course I should for twice the price though!)

My two cents worth.

i am a bit puzzled by the comments so far regarding the au 24 speaker cables.

i had an opportunity to audition the ics, power cables and speaker cable.

the au 24 was not lacking in resolution. in fact i found them somewhat analytical and too focused for my taste. in addition, i did not find the bass response more extended or having greater impact than other speaker cables.

Reviewing and auditioning is much different than living with them day after day. I think people change cables almost on a routine basis to get something different but over time tire of them as well....and around and around we go.

I had Au79's before going to Synergistic Research Tesla. In my system the Tesla Accelerators were more resolved, threw a much larger soundstage, and had a more textured and musical balance.

I suggest you try cables from different manufactures- in addition to SR Tesla I would also try cables from AQ, Cardas, and Nordost. That should cover the neighborhood pretty well.
