Audio envy - dang!
@j_husker same. The SP-11’s just took my system up a notch. I was curious about another set (@2x the price) but these have made things come alive and I couldn’t be happier. I’ll probably call Cap and see about a set of jumpers and I need a set of XLR. Crazy happy. |
I now have prestige between DAC and pre, and pre and amp. I’m going to stick with my first impressions,a bit more depth of soundstage,and they allow a little bit more detail in the upper ranges. Not bright at all. These were purchased used,so no real burn in issues. These are a very good value for sure. |
I'm going to add that I am very impressed with Audio Envy cables. They are never bright but also open, I would call them a touch mellow just they way I like it. I extensively compared the phono cable with the VPI Weisline and I came away thinking the AE cable was vastly superior. The interconnect is just wonderful and what a bargain price. I haven't compared all the cables to others that are much more expensive. I did a couple comparisons most notably with the Synergistic Research Gallileo UEF power cords. I'm not even sure how I ended up buying this expensive of power cords but I have 4 of them. Yes the SR cords are way better but they are huge and unruly and 20X more expensive. Also I feel that the Audioquest Diamond Coax, also way more expensive is better than the AE coax digital. Overall though I just love the house sound of AE and I really don't feel the need to spend stupid amounts of money on cables anymore. It's a great product at a fair price. If you are shopping anywhere near the asking price, they are a no brainer to try. |
