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.

Thanks for your post, you made me revisit the AE site. Well, I was looking for a power distributor for my 2nd system that doesn’t impede current and devoid of any coloration. Well, they have a PD called OKTA that peaked my interest along with Expanded PC…perhaps early X’mas gift to me 😊

I've noticed that PD before. Looks like a great piece.

I sent you over more info on AE that may be helpful. In the end, I'd probably ask Cap about the correct pairing of power cord for the PD. Later

Thank you for the additional info. I will reach out to Captain for best possible pairing.

Also, Cap mentioned some new speaker cables called model 34. I had seen these at CAF when I visited the Endow Audio room, but he mentioned that these should be on the site next month.
