    Good Review Marvin. I have their new Phono Cable, a Digital RCA Coax and two pair of the Studio Prestige I/Cs.

    VERY quick and smooth sounding wires. I'm thinking about a pair of Speaker Cables also.

    I took a look at his line & was very impressed. He's a few weeks behind on filling his power cord orders though. We exchanged a few emails & Captain is the real deal. His IC's & speaker cables are on my radar.

    Nice review, and perfect timing. I was just about to order some kimber 12tc speaker cables, but will try the nv-sp9 first for less than half the price. Those spade connectors sure do look weird!

    @marvda1 Wow, very unique design! Are they wide enough to fit on a 5/16 post?

    That was my first thought. They do look small.

    that was the first thing i asked before he shipped them. i wanted spades that fit 5/16" terminals and was told the v shape goes from large to small, they worked for me.
    here is a comparison audio of his interconnects.

    @marvda1 this picture is on the audio envy sp9 page

    Looks like a totally different connector. I emailed them tonight asking about the binding post diameter before i saw this picture.

    That is definitely one way to do a spade connector, looks like a lead from a capacitor soldered on to the end of some wire! But hey that may not be a bad thing!
