Why so much trade in Audience AU24

Dcaudio,
Since your asking for advise, why don't you call The Cable Company and audition a pair of AU24's and while your at it try a pair of comparably priced Synergistic Research Tesla cables. In my system Tesla cables replaced cables several thousand dollars more expensive and I continue to be amazed months on by their ability to combine speed and detail with warmth musicality and sound staging.

Why not give them both a spin and report  back? After all that's what makes this hobby so much fun : )

Audience has developed a good reputation over the years. There are many variables as to why so much trade on Audiogon,i.e people upgrading either in same line or different make, people want to just try something else in their system, and many more legitimate reasons. I would suggest that you try Leica's recommendation or just buy a used pair on Audiogon and if for some reason they don't "synergize" in your system, resale them and hopefully get your money back. That's the beauty of buying and selling on Audiogon. I have bought many pre-owned cables on Audiogon( already broken in is a plus) and later sold them and re-bought the same cable later because of system changes.

I had a dealer's response (private email) re. the Tesla line. What you got Leica?? Ic's?/ speaker?/ cords? /all ??

Avguygeorge,
I have two pair of Accelerator interconnects and one pair of Precision Reference bi-wire speaker cable. They combine the speed and transparency of my Nordost Valhalla's with the warmth, low frequency punch and holographic sound stage of my old Designers Reference X2 (and then some). The remarkable thing is the entire set (two pair of interconnects and one pair of 8ft speaker cable) cost less brand new then just one pair of Valhalla speaker cables USED!

They are definitely worth a listen.
