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.

@kimurastanley,

RE: QKORE - Ditto! I can’t imagine my audio system without it :-)

The Mega 3 uses twice the conductors in ocean-elite 3p. It’s a relatively newer cable, don’t think it’s updated on their website yet.

After hearing your comments on the mega 3 I feel like I should upgrade all my mega 2.  Recently purchased them from some guy on us audio mart.  Should have seen this thread earlier. Sigh.  Lol

I was just kidding.  I'm very happy with all the cables I got from you.  =)  I doubt I can hear any difference.  Very satisified with all my cables.  Spent another 1500 on new cables with Captain.  Hopefully they will arrive soon and I can put it to rest and move on to the next venture.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying AE cables. Gorgeous sound and great value for the money. I have yet to find another brand of cables that can rival the performance especially at their asking price.
