Audience Au24e vs Cardas Golden Reference

Can someone familiar with both of these cables describe the differences between them? I'm especially interested in speaker cables. Both Cardas and Audience are often mentioned together as great choices. I know Cardas, what can I expect from Audience? Your opinions will be much appreciated.

Frankly, I found the Audience -- in my system, at least -- wanting in a variety of ways and did not find them to compare favorably with the Zu Ibis or Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun.

I have both in two otherwise identical systems. The Cardas eats the Audience's lunch. Way bigger soundstage,weightier, more involving, more fun. It'll depend on your system but in mine it's no contest.

I agree entirely with Fama. Some time ago, I was able to directly compare Cardas Golden Reference with Audience AU 24e in my system. Cardas sounded significantly closer to a live concert experience; Audience significantly closer to the hi fi experience.
