Audio Art IC-3SE Interconnect, SC-5SE(G) Speaker And Statement II Power Cables

Intrigued in part by the internet buzz, but mostly due to Bret Rudolph’s June 2008 review of Audio Art’s entry level offerings, I thought it would be more than interesting to check out the best interconnects and speaker cable that the relatively small cable manufacturer Audio Art has to offer. Audio Art’s amiable owner Rob Fritz was nice enough to send me samples of their IC-35SE interconnects, SC-5 SE speaker cables, and Statement II power cords. In the 2008 review one might remember Bret was impressed by Audio Art’s very positive performance-to-price ratio, although he admitted that those with more revealing systems might want to use better cables than the modestly priced models that he reviewed.
