Comparisons of Audience and VH Flavor 1 PC's

For my Audio Refinement Complete Apha CDP, I'm thinking of one of these two cables. I'm interested in differences/similarities between them.
I've tried the stock cord (rather lifeless), Signal Cable Magic Power (better bass punch, very open/transparent and dynamic, but a bit too tipped up in balance, $40 Soundstring (all around pretty good, but not transparent enough).

Thanks
Chris

I agree the Audience is very detailed and also very flexible. The VH Audio Flavor 4 is more stiff and may be hard to maneuver in a rack.

Mechans - yes I meant warm when I said laid back, which as I said is not a bad thing. I actually use the Audience on my transport. It just did not do as well on my DAC.

As we all know, everything is system dependent. YMMV

TVAD as you know I have two system, I compared them
both with my two system,I also think on both system,
the audience is way too musical and the VH is too dry
sounding IMS, the VH4 is well made though.But again
I encourage to try them both.

Jayctoy, in my experience power cords may perform differently depending on what type of component they are used. That's why I asked on which components you tried the cords. It's not a challenge. I'm just looking for your real-world experience.

I don't even need a description of what they did. I'd just like to know on which components they worked best, in your opinion.
