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.

I received my phono Cable today, Iam using it with my vpi scout Jr Denon cart mc, to Sutherland LPS 2020, Iam using Audioquest diamond ic from Sutherland to my integrated VIva 300B , Iam using Nordost heimdall 2, Speaker Cable, Speaker tekton perfect set 12, this is my second system, this phono Cable is very natural clean sounding, fast, with slam, micro and macro is very good, layering , transient and black background is one of the strength of this phono Cable, it’s a keeper will order more ic.very quiet Cable as well.
I forgot the bass is superb as well, Iam not sure if captain can make me a phono Cable for my SME 10, I want one phono Cable for my SME where my main system is.
@jayctoy,

I have recently ordered phono cable for my SME 309 tonearm from AE. He uses a very high quality straight DIN plug instead of angled DIN plug which in my opinion is a much better orientation.
