Audio envy - dang!


I usually post on AG when I have an issue or concern, so I’m happy for once it’s to praise a new product, in this case Audio Envy’s IC. 

I use an ARC Classic 60 amp with a Herron 1A preamp. The AE cable went between these two.

I run an ARC Phono pre PH3se from my VPI prime as source.
My speakers are Thiel CS2.4’s

Out of the box a bit bright, But after a few hours that just went to strait up transparent - I mean freaking crystal clear. No tonal aberrations. Smooth, with no etched highs. Voices sound right, Natural. Soundstage opened up, as you might expect when things get clearer.

The best part was how inexpensive they were. They made my Cardas Clear Light interconnects I was using sound clouded by contrast. The Cardas was about x3 the cost of the AE’s.
BTW, this wasn’t “I think I hear differences”, this was “I’ll never use those Cardas in this system again, and where is my IPad, I need to order my next set!”

And that’s just what I did.

@tom2015,

Appreciate your feedback. In regards to sound being leaner and center image is less pronounced....IME, the AE cords don’t exaggerate any frequencies in the signal. The AE cable sound is relaxed, transparent and very faithful to the original recordings. 
I would give about 30-50 hours before you make any decisions. If you don’t like what you hear after 30 hours, send them back 😊

Enjoy! 
Tom2015 are using tube preamp? My friend told me ,you will hear more improvement after 100 hrs.On my tubes mono they work great.
They also need to match the system in terms of tonality and timbre.If the system is on the bright side my guess lean sound might show up....
My p3 powercords I have 20hrs on them, the improvement is they are more quieter, and cleaner, a bit more open, I will admit they did match well on my system too.Will see after 50 hrs...I have a borrowed cable cooker, but decided to find out their sound transformation every 20hrs, I can honestly say this are excellent cables. 
By the way still waiting for my phono Cable. Looks like AE are filling lots of orders. I put my order on oct 10.Captain told me two weeks.
