FYI - Audience will be releasing a new single-outlet version of its acclaimed adeptResponse power conditioner in a few months, called the "aR1p".  Prior to the release, they are making available a limited number of pre-production units; a last-minute change in chassis suppliers left them with a set of chassis' that will not be used in the final production run, so they are selling these pre-production units as a means to clear out the original chassis.  So beyond cosmetics, these pre-production units are identical to what will be the final production design.

Retail price for the production units will be $495 each.  Pre-production units are being priced at $395.  Check with your local Audience dealer for availability!

Phil,
What other new configurations of 'smaller' Adept Response power conditioners will Audience have?
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,

Audience has the aR6 (6-outlet) version pretty near completion.  They don't have a release date yet, but they showed the production prototype at CES...

Want to send one to me for some bench test?

If you buy one, sure! 

(fwiw, I picked up three of them for myself...am using them in two different systems on my amps; one on the Blue Circle BC206, the other two on Bel Canto Ref1000's...both were previously plugged directly into the wall.  Am VERY happy with the results in both systems!)

No price has been set for the aR6 yet, but I've been told that it will be less than buying six aR1's and more than half the price of the aR12.  This puts it somewhere between $2K-$3K.

There is no 2-outlet model in the near future, but the aR1/aR1p has identical filtering design as the aR12 (but lacks the voltage meter and surge protection of the aR12).  Here's the Audience web page on the aR12:

The bad news:  the preproduction unit sale is over.   

The good news:  the 6-outlet aR6 just went into production and will be available next week...! aa
