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 have some AE stuff shipping out tomorrow and took a chance to order a 3P power cord. Hope it is as good as everyone says it is! I have the TWL Obsession, and a Cerious Matrix pc also on the way. Looking forward to seeing how they compare. 
Doc remember the price difference on those Matrix and obsession, but don’t be surprise if the AE pc will compete head to head.
I ordered my speaker cables ten days ago, still no word from AE. I wish they would keep some in stock for a quicker turnaround. I know ... first world problems :)
@arafiq,

I hear you, AE cables are made to order. I am waiting on my new DIN > RCA as well. But they are worth the wait :-)
Just ordered my 3rd pair of IC’s. Ordered them about a week ago, and was notified yesterday that they have shipped. My first two pairs took much longer. Guess I got lucky on this order, as I was prepared to wait another couple weeks+ before shipping.
