Title: Audio Envy cables
Post by: Nick B on November 28, 2018, 05:17:54 PM
I found this company on the web and it’s fascinating reading. I have no idea what’s involved with
R & D for products, but he claims 5 years and 250 prototypes. Good prices as well. Anybody heard of this company?

  Yes. He introduced himself to us at CAF. Nice guy. Appears to be a musician , recording studio owner and audiophile. Like their philosophy and pricing.

As you audition so many products, have you had a chance to hear these, and if so, what do you think?

   Audio Envy sent us some demo ICs and speaker cable to check out. Surprised us actually. To start they are Harmonic Kings. They beat out the Belden Iconoclast, Gronenberg and Tara  which in our opinion are VG cables.
   A new Kid on the block that I believe got it right. One size does not fit all as we know.  If one is looking to color their system there are  other cable options. If one wishes to add nothing to signal these are them.
   They also make guitar cables. My Son said he can hear more harmonics and has better tone. He uses a vintage tubed Ampeg.

Charles,
I’ll likely be auditioning these pretty soon. I really like the design and materials used and the price is in my sweet spot....less than $200 per cable type. I’ll post here if I do

I'll be interested to get your take on them as I had Captain make me up an 8 foot PC to go between the Equi=Core 1800 and the wall.  So far so good and the price was right.  I wanted to move the Equi=Core and the TWL DA I was using wasn't long enough nor was the 7+.

I have a pair of the Captain's speaker cables on the way that shipped out this afternoon.  They are a pair of the new SP-7 cables that are not even listed on the website yet that he wanted me to try in place of the "older" SP-5 cables that I ordered.  Hopefully they will arrive before we leave Sunday for our annual week of Spring Training Baseball in the Tampa Bay area.  Would sure like them to break in along side the new Reynaud Speakers I received from Bob Neill on Saturday while we are gone.

I decided to try the Audio Envy PC because I wanted to move the Equi=Core and the longest TWL cable I had was about a foot short and while I waited for one to show up on the used market I decided to try the Audio Envy.  I have been more than pleased with what it does and may in the long run just leave it in place unless a real deal shows up for a long 7+.  I don't think you would be disappointed at all if you try it.

How do you like the SP-7 speaker cables? 

Is the power cable still performing well?

Thanks.

Post by: Jack on April 05, 2019, 03:58:07 PM
We left town the morning after I got the SP-7's and I let them run 24/7 while we were gone for 8 days.  At the same time I was breaking in a new pair of Reynaud speakers I had picked up from Bob Neill.  I have only been listening to them for less than a week so don't really have a fully formed opinion yet. Initial impression has that they are full in the lower registers and mid's while the top end is still coming around.  To my ears they are slightly on the warm side of neutral at this point.

As to the power cable it is doing it's job nicely and hasn't given me a reason to call Pete about a longer 7+. Very nice power cables at a fair price.  I have only tried it between the Equi=Core 1800 and the wall as it's much too long to use on the other gear in the rack plus they are all fine with their TWL cables.

Title: Re: Audio Envy cables
Post by: Jack on April 25, 2019, 06:09:56 PM
They now have slightly over 300 hours on them and have really settled in nicely.  Slightly on the warmer side of neutral to my ears still but that is in my set-up and could be different in others.  A lot of similarities to a pair of OCC copper cables I also own from Audio Sensibility.  Like the AS cables kind of dead and lifeless right out of the box but at about 100 hours the top end filled in and will probably still get better over time.  And as always the Captain was easy to work with. His cables are easy to recommend.

This thread has not been posted to for better than 120 days. But instead of starting a new thread, I decided to post here anyway since its about Audio Envy interconnects.

See this review I posted on the Steve Hoffman Forum about Audio Envy 5th generation ICs. See that here: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/audio-envy-prestige-interconnect-cables.872519/#post-21948066.

At this point, I also use AE IC (6th generation) and speaker cables in most places in my system. I'm quite happy with them.

If any of you have a question. I look at this thread from time to time and if I can, I'll work to answer them.

Yes, tight fitting. I had not seen anything like them prior. But they are brushed metal of some kind, aluminum (?), and hard plastic. See the second image for a reasonable photo in the review I wrote.

I like how they appear other than the aluminum. It's cool but hard to isolate from if you're trying to keep the actual connected part low mass.

because all my audio stuff is in boxes waiting for the trip around the world.
Maybe later.

A few weeks ago -- out of curiosity, more than anything else -- I bought a set of his Studio-Prestige IC.  Cheap enough with return privileges, so nothing to lose.  I am quite impressed to the point that I wrote a review on his website.  And I'm definitely not a review writing kind of guy!  Great performance for the buck, and beyond.    :thumb:

http://audioenvy.com/product/home-car-pro-interconnects/nv-4s-pr-rca/#reviews

Very impressed by the Studio-Prestige IC. It transformed the sound of my vinyl rig (Townshend Rock 3 / OL Onyx / Cartridge Man Music Maker 3) when placed after my Blue Circle phono stage. Bloom, warmth and an organic quality with no loss of detail or softening of transients. Opened up the stage. Natural, sophisticated and refined, really pulls you into the music for long listening sessions. Isn’t this what we want from our vinyl rigs?! Thanks Captain, for making available a great product at sane prices. Highly recommended!

These terminals are light-weight. In fact, the entire IC is light compared to some I have used.

The Audio Envy power cords are very, very good and are great for my budget. I have four in use right now and have just ordered another for the streamer power supply. These replace solid core copper power cords that were diy from a friend and unshielded. The sound is now more detailed, refined, with more air and improved tonality.
I am still using diy ICs, digital and speaker cables. It helps that my Border Patrol dac had a cap upgrade to Jupiters :)
I’m surprised at the level of improvement. Am looking forward to adding the rest of the AE cables 🎶🎶

Hey rajacat,
Nice to have you post. As to the timeframe to get AE cables, yes he’s usually at least 2 weeks behind. Cap Payne makes great cables (especially for the money) and there are many positive comments on the web....see Audiogon also)
Be sure and allow time for break in. Iirc, I put 3 days on all the AE cables.

Title: Re: Audio Envy cables

They are built when you place the order so expect at least a minimum of a week before you get a shipping notice it is a small operation. Plus Cap is not getting a lot of help from the USPS especially the distribution center in Denver.  I received a pair of balanced cables first of the week that had been in the Postal System for 12 days after they received them from him.  Most of the time was them sitting in Denver.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't realize that Audio Envy was such a small company, one person? That's OK. Just getting antsy.  I recently received a new SET that took ~ two months for delivery after multiple delays. That builder has a very small operation too.

I'm almost sure it's more than just him but last I talked to him a couple of months ago things had really picked up as the result of threads here, A'Gon and AC and he was trying to find more help.

Added a whole new flavor to the bass. They surpassed my Millersound JPS clones with ease. Next I shifted them to my 300B SET (Tube Fantasy) feed by the Tortuga. Again I'm blown away. These put the Blue Jeans :oops: to shame. Only about 6 hours on them presently. I may order two more pairs.

So far, I like them between the DAC and the pre the most. I imagine that that's due to the pre being the distributor and in this case, has very little color of its own. It's like a dose of transparency being injected into the whole system.

I needed 5 power cords for my setup. Iirc, Cap told me the affect of adding pc’s was cumulative, and indeed when I added the 3rd one, there was a more noticeable improvement. If you use a power conditioner, Cap offers a different power cord. You can ask him about it.
Yes, as Charles also said, the latest SP 9 speaker cables are very good as well.

I’m very pleased I got the full loom and it’s the first time ever (in over 30 years) that I’ve done so. Sequentially, I believe I did the power cords first, then the SC, then the IC’s and last the digital cable.
In all the reviews/comments I read on the AE cables, there was one neutral comment on the digital. So I left that one for last and I wasn’t disappointed. It was as excellent as the others  :thumb:

He doesn't sell posts presently but had an extra pair on hand that would help with my unique setup. I'm still surprised how just moving the AE IC from the DAC/pre to SET/pre position dramatically changed the sound for the positive . Those compression driver are very sensitive. I have a lot to learn.

I'm now awaiting a shipment of 2 pr.-Ocean Elite IC's, 2prs. - SP9 SC's and 3 powercords. :drool: Just the one IC already installed made a substantial difference but my present cables set a low bar for improvement. I'm not sure of what sequence to install the rest of the cables in order to most clearly hear the incremental changes.
Maybe I should install them all immediately so that I can get past the burn in process ASAP?.

Probably best to install all immediately and keep track of the hours. I have the Hagerman burn in devices, so it was easy for me to put on 3 days and hear the progress for each cable.
I don’t know what Cap recommends on burn in hours.
Title: Re: Audio Envy cables
Post by: rajacat on December 20, 2020, 02:06:13 PM
It must be nice having having the Hagerman.
To confuse the situation, I'm also burning in (~100 hrs.) a pair of the new, reasonably priced, Dueland .01 silver bypass caps in my DAC. They're bypassing the new superb Vcap ODAM's (~200 hrs.). It certainly nice getting almost a full loom for under 1.5K . I also bought an usb cable from hometheatherdoc. A full loom of $400 ea cables was never in my budget. I have several other expensive avocations that continually deplete my budget .

In addition, I have a new SET which is very sensitive to cables as I've discovered. Also, having 110db compression drivers brings out very good details and texture. IMO although I'm not a detail hound, I like to have it in the quiver, to provide a base for the texture. Another thing, I'm running DSD256 and it seems both smoother and more detailed than 44.1. IMO DSD sounds more analog.

About 12 hours on the PC's. More clarity and quietness  overall. Better sense of space.  Not quite the dramatic change as with the IC's probably because they're starting at a higher bar. I can't wait any longer so the SC's go in today.

Yes, I agree but I just bought a split USB from hometheaterdoc. The intona regen + battery was a PITA. I kept having to plug it into the PS so that it would regain the signal almost every time. Much squatting behind my rig.
