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.

Just received a 3 sets of Studio Prestige interconnects and these are excellent. Somehow it feels like there’s like a once hidden quarter octave of low frequencies now moving through the system. Wow.

Need a phono, 2 sub cables and some Sp11’s to finish it off.
Very happy.
I needed longer than those but thanks for the heads up @jackd 

i got a set in and really like them. I’m a happy camper. Now if I can get my phono stage built this century I’d be in business.

I know this thread is old but did you ever let the AE power cable break in and what were your thoughts please? 

I’m going to bring back this old thread. Maybe these cables are last months flavor?  I just grabbed a used set of AE Prestige. They will be replacing Analysis Plus Oval ones. I like the sound of The AP cables, just trying to check out different or maybe better.  I guess the proof is in the pudding.  I’ll report my findings after I get some saddle time.
