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 haven’t checked in here at Audiogon for a few months and what a pleasant surprise to find a thread on one of my favorite products. 
Like others here I went from well known cables costing much more than the AE’s and I couldn’t be happier. I started out with a full loom of their previous line and moved up to their latest offerings in the spring. AE cables just get out of the way allowing more music to come forth, which is the highest compliment one can give to cables IMO. Great product, great service, great price, great sound......what more can one ask for?

I’m sure there are even more transparent cables out there but not at prices I can afford!
I received my phono Cable today, Iam using it with my vpi scout Jr Denon cart mc, to Sutherland LPS 2020, Iam using Audioquest diamond ic from Sutherland to my integrated VIva 300B , Iam using Nordost heimdall 2, Speaker Cable, Speaker tekton perfect set 12, this is my second system, this phono Cable is very natural clean sounding, fast, with slam, micro and macro is very good, layering , transient and black background is one of the strength of this phono Cable, it’s a keeper will order more ic.very quiet Cable as well.
