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.

It looks to me to be a hollow copper pipe, which should compress a bit to fit tightly if that is the case. 
@jayctoy,

Just ignore the troll. The spades you see on AE speaker wire is no longer offered. Captain now offering a very different spades or bananas :-)

Absolutely love mine.  I took a chance on the power cable since it was so cheap.  On first listening, it was obvious that the cable was a step up from anything I had tried before.  I then ordered the Studio Prestige RCA ICs and a pair of NV-SP9 speaker cables.  They just make everything sound natural, clear, and they don't do anything wrong.  They call no attention to themselves.  I have stopped even considering other cables.
