Audience Conductor "E" or "SE" speaker cable?

Audience has a so-called entry level cable, the "Conductor E". They also offer the Conductor SE which supposedly provides more resolution. I can't afford the more expensive 24e cable which is double to triple the price of these series.

Therefore, anyone currently using the Audience Conductor SE speaker cable, if so, does it offer some improvement over the "E" series??

Another related question is: Are the Audience lower series speaker cables better than most so-called "ENTRY LEVEL" cables, for example Audio Art SC-5; Harmonic Technology Fantasy cable; Signal Cable Ultra; Kimber Kable 4TC and 8TC; Nordost Purple Flair. I have either heard or tried them; some are better than others, but none are exceptional or overachievers for their price range. Thanks to all

I can't comment on the Conductor model but have experience with the AU24e and AU24SE SC: the SE version is more airy and provides better imaging, highs have more presence. IME there are no drawbacks of the SE vs E and both are steps better than the standard version.

Generally, I find Audience product lines good value for money. Their power conditioners are definitely recommended.

Hi Jazz, I'm enjoying your Audience Powerchord; my system really opened up with it. I'm now using one to the preamp and a 2nd to the ARC CDP.

The AU24's are out of my price range; right now I'm auditioning some MIT Matrix 28's.

Hi Lowrider,

Glad to hear you like the powerChord e, I tried to find better alternatives to the AU24SE speaker cables in my second system but could not in their price range.
