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’ve had my two Audio Envy power cords since 12/11/20. I have one M3 and one P2. I put the M3 on my power amp and after burn in it was a very amazing bump in sound quality. Put the "other" cord back in for a week and only just missed the M3. So the M3 is back in and not going anywhere. After allowing some days for the M3 to settle back into the system, I put the P2 in 12/26/20 and long story short, after a week of burn in, it was also better than the PC it replaced. Both of the replaced cords are many times more expensive, yet, as has been stated in this thread, the AE power cables are really a bargain, batting way above their pricing.

In the end, I like them so much I will be calling next week to purchase more power cords. After that I’ll work on interconnects and speaker cable.

Just wondering if you’ve received your TWL Obsession PC and how it compares to AE power cords and also if you received the Audiosensibilities power leads? Eager to hear your impressions.

Happy New Year all.
