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.

Which is better, full loom of Audio Envy or full loom of Anticables at comparative price point?

sorry for the random question, but if anyone has compared would be interested to hear impressions

I find it strange that Audio Envy's website does not indicate the wire gauge on their speaker cables. Does anyone know the answer?

@pokey77,

Thanks for the compliment. I am going to send you a PM (I prefer not to shame other brands in a open forum).

What I do want to express is this, Audio Envy’s cables simply gets out of the way and let’s me enjoy music to the full potential of my system. Their ability to bring out the absolutely best truly belies their asking price!

Turnbowm, when I first inquire to Captain who I think design this Cables , He won’t tell me if they are strand or solid core, I guest it’s smart not to reveal to much on their cables, I bought the p3 power cables anyway, they are super musical and effortless to listen, very balance, micro and macro is to die for. Iam glad I bought this Cables.i have phono Cables ordered.I use Teo audio cables, Tellurium q Cables diamond Speaker Cables, Nordost heimdall 2 Speaker Cables, Palladian kimber pc as well. Cerious Cables, Hi fidlelity Cables. The audio envy cables on my system , I felt it brings the best of out my expensive cables.
