You are too kind Trelja. I have been away for a while haven't I. It is great to see some of the 'old' crowd still here, it really is. I had a bad couple of years with my 11 year old daughter having a brain tumor, so lost interest in so much of life for a time. But she is nearly fully recovered so I am working hard on going back to some old habits and get back into things.
Oops, Drubin. The Audience are so wonderfully naturally balanced a cable, that I don't think you need to fret. The only reason I would move away from the Audience is if the system is lacking a bit of immediacy. Which I think unlikely given the 2.4s and the Model 201s that I think you have. By the way I have Model 201s too. The Audience cables are nicely lively but can sound as if the very leading edge of fast transients is slightly blunted in some systems. I moved on from them for that reason but must say the real culprit was my DAC, and I have since changed it, but had sold the Audience on.
The Luminous are very wide open and lightning fast without being wiry or bright, with fast powerful bass. Beware that during break in the upper mids are very hard and unmusical.
