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.

After 200 hours, the cables will really open up!
Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

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!!

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!
