Anti-Cable Level 3 spker cable: Improved or same?

I had been an Anticable user for about 3 years. Figured there had to be something significantly better sounding out there as the cable doesn't have much involved in making one. I used over 6 different cables but always came back to the Anticables in my system--they just sounded more like live. The most expensive cable I ventured into listed for about $1500. Then I tried MG Audio Planus III ribbon cables and that was the first time I heard something much better. It was a big leap in sound quality from anything prior. I also think the Amadi Maddie Signature silver cables are excellent also. You might be able to get them for a very reasonable cost still. I have VMPS RM 40 speakers that are very revealing along with a Modwright 5400 cd/sacd, a tweaked out Lenco turntable with Origin Live arm and Soundsmith Shelter 501 Mk II, Edge amp, and Audible Illusions 3A pre. All ICs are Darwin Silver, Ascension, and Ascension Plus. The Reference 3 Antis are a little better in the bass than the standard antis--not much of a step up. The difference between the Antis and either cable I mentioned is major in my book.

Thanks for the system comment, SJ. I love the sound of this system. The Darwin cables, starting with the Silver, were just way better than anything I've had in my system. They don't sound bright, but are very revealing and alive sounding. I think you'd love the MG Planus III SCs. I have the copper ones and they were a similar jump in performance to the Darwins. They are not bright but very dynamic and revealing. They are pretty expensive. I bought mine from an Agoner for $900 with the Planus III jumper cables. The SCs are a little longer than 6 ft. They make an 8 ft. pair that are $400 more list price. VMPS ribbon speakers are very revealing and the combo of ICs with the SCs are dynamic, beautiful sounding, transparent and with great bass performance. I bought the MGs on a recommendation from several owners who have different speakers and systems that all said the same thing--they transformed the system!!! I agree. Mine was already sounding very good before.

Find any ad on Agon for Amadi cables--often in the auctions. Then just send Philip (George) a question. The Maddie Signature is his top of the line. I assure you he's in business and that is how I got to try them. The MG Planus III copper 6 ft. sell for $1500. Keep an eye out for those selling used--some owners move up to the silver at $3000 for 6 ft.

Sunnyjim,
Philip has 3 ads in Agon right now for the Amadi cables. Use the Agon system to contact him in writing about trying out the cables. The Maddie Signatures are his top of the line, followed by the Phil Ref, and then the Barb Masters. The power cords are supposed to sound very good. Hope this is helpful. He's located in New Jersey.
