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 had a chance to talk to cap about these and he is passionate about his products alright...he conveyed he feels this is a step up from 11.

Well i put new zavfino jumpers/spades and the Audio envy sp 9 in this weekend and was excited to hear them after reading about them so much.Its nice to have some occ in the mix/speaker cable again.Clean soundstage and instruments just sound right?... cant wait for them to really settle in with new jumpers as well.

So its been a couple days in and already they are sounding really good...hearing some disks that i thought i knew well.Just a really great sounding open/timber correct soundstage.For the layout used ?...i  just cant think of anything i have ever had in my system that sounds this right... and as the OP stated...DANG!

Anyone using the Ocean 3P power cord with a SL1200G/GR?

 

curious if it fits.
