Audience AU24 SX RCA Interconnects 0.5m

A Google search of 'Best Interconnects' came up with these Audience AU24 SX as an option. Every review was glowing.
Product of the Year Awards for 2017

I bought two pairs. The improvement over any of my current cables is huge (Merlin Verdi/Vivaldi). Hearing things in songs I'd never heard before. A significant upgrade.
Have partnered well with my ATC SCM19s and Perreaux amp.

RRP US$1560 (approx £1220)
(+import duty +gst +shipping over NZ$400)

Selling because I can't justify to my family the need for the second pair for work, although that would be nice. Actually, it's hard enough justifying the first pair.
They sounded fabulous straight out of the box on my (old but good) work system:

Completely agree with Jerry B. These are sensational cables and for sale at AU24SE prices. These are a really good buy (would be even as SEs). I'd have 'em but I haven't £600 kicking about at the moment. Oddly.

Jerry, if you get desperate, PM me. I have some lovely items to sell too, so maybe part-ex...? Thanks. Richard

My daughters are, but they shake their heads at my schemes and purchases.

As for my wife of 32 years?
I've had 25 years of not buying anything new; my patience has finally paid off (actually, my mortgage is finally paid off).
And she can't hear the difference, sadly.

Thanks Richard.
I don't think these cables are known at all.
I'm in love with how they present music.
Just wish I could afford the speaker cables...

I use AU24SE throughout my system and have tried lots of other stuff... Only your SX would tempt me to upgrade again. The length is right for me, too. Just bad timing! The SE speaker cables sometimes come up for sensible money. So do Es which are sonically close. SX might be a bit bold there! Price wise! Everyone I have put on to AU24SE has been forever grateful. SX can surely only be better... But by how much...?! Wish I could take a punt.

These are way less than they cost me.
But everyone either expects a bargain in NZ, or hasn't got £600 spare.

I have Merlin Scorpio speaker cables in the wall.
I thought it was a good idea 10 years ago.

Now it is difficult to upgrade without major renovations!
Maybe put another hole in the wall...

The Audience interconnects replaced my Merlin Vivaldi, which were around RRP NZ$1100 at the time.
They were no slouch, but the AU24sx RCAs are such a huge leap forward.

A damn good buy. Whoever bought them please keep me in mind if selling on. But just not at the moment! I haven't the spare cash! Thanks. Richard

I didn't make my money back, but at least got some way towards the purchase price.

The guy is in NSW Australia...
