Audience's Ohno speaker cable & interconnect. Entry level fluff or serious cable ??

Audience supposedly makes excellent speaker cables, interconnects, and PC's.  However, their Ohno line of cables was well received in TAS.  Has any one tried this cable or auditioned it recently and formed some useful impressions.


Compared to other Audience products, this cable seem inexpensive, unless I read the review pricing wrong The interconnect is also reasonably priced at 199.00 for I meter. 

The question is it the line high-end worthy for systems between $5000-7000, or like the Claymation character  "Mr. Bill"   on the old Saturday Night Live, who always declared..... Ohnoooo!!

Thank you for the comment, I know the AQ Rocket 88 gets good reviews.  Can you possibly provide your impressions of its sound quality??  Is the speaker cable smooth on top?? Is the bass tight,  and most important, is it musical, pulling the listener into the music??

I wouldn't take anything said in TAS too seriously. If at all possible, buy from someone who allows a home audition.

The Ohno is smoother on top, is easier to listen to.
In terms of detail, they're close, with the edge going to the Ohno.
The bass was a bit more pronounced in the AQ, but not a whole lot.

As with any system, it just depends on the synergy, and your ears.
