VH Audio, Ridge St Audio or Audience Au24 XLRs?

Pulsar/Au24 thread

I found the Ridge Street MSE II to have a slightly softer top end than the Pulsar. The midrange and bass were about equal without excessive bloom. Both are a bit warmer than the Au24. The Au24 images best because of its uncanny ability to focus the instruments/vocals.

Read my reviews under user name Lak. I’ve auditioned many interconnects and speaker cables.
I agree with what Tvad and Driver said, "all interconnects and speaker cables are system dependent", including listener dependent. With that said, I’ve owned the AU-24’s including the Ridge Street SME Gen. I and II and the Poiema’s. I have not had the pleasure of listening to the VH Audio Pulsar (but I would be grateful to anyone that would let me borrow a pair or two (RCA) for review purposes).
I prefer the Ridge Street for the reasons written in my reviews.
Good luck, you can’t go wrong, they are all good!

Anyone care to say which one is the most transparent?

Thnx,

In my opinion, the Au24 are more transparent.

Bingenito, my decision to go with the Star-quad wire was from Chris's recommendation after I liked the performance of his PCs and ICs. I was using Audience Au24 speaker wires and when I compared the Star-quad, I really couldn't tell a difference, both were open and transparent to me. I really like the sound I'm getting from my cables, it's a good feeling to have the confidence of knowing you're comfortable with what you are using based on A/B comparisons in your own rig. I believe Chris is developing a line of speaker wires now, I'm anxious to check them out.
