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.

cd45123 I completly agree with your findings.

rlb61 In my system, the new SP14’s are markedly better and different than the 12’s and worth the investment.  I Would encourage you to consult with Cap for more details and your systems needs.

Your comments make me want to try the SP14s. The SP12s were better than Heimdall 2s, so I can only imagine what the SP14s can do.

pokey77 good luck with the SP14’s! Performing the ground wire termination and installation is a breeze.

So why isn’t their website up to date? There’s no sp14 far as I can tell. 🤷🏻‍♂️
