Anti-Cable High Frequency Performance

I've just installed a set of anti-cables in my bi-wired system with Magnepan 3.6 speakers. I find the bass and mid-range nice and tight and the overall sound very balanced, smooth, and natural. The soundstage is very good.

But I notice that the high end is not as extended as my previous cables (good quality oxygen free heavy gauge copper strand). There's less detail in the upper end.

I did twist the anti-cables as directed in the instructions to get as much high end performance as possible.

I like the natural sound but I miss the high end definition.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Or, does anyone have any advice about alternative cables at the same price?

I should say that I am very impressed with the overall quality of the sound. This is not an anti-anti-cable post. Just trying to tweak it some more.

I've got a couple of sets of anti-cables. While everything seems system dependent, I think you'd be nuts not to try them. They work wonders in my system. More transparent, very widerange, and much less 'there'. For the price you can always send them back or sell them, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I'm using them to bi-amp my VR2's with an NAD M25, and they've never sounded better.
