Anti Cables Speaker Wire

I just bought a set of Anti Cables speaker wire for my system (bananas on both ends):
1. Cary SLP-94
2. BAT VK 200
3. Rega P3-24 with Mitchell Counterweight, aftermarket aluminum subplatter, TTPSU, Clearaudio Virtuoso
4. Cambridge Audio 650 CD player
5. Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers
I have been running big old Monster Cable wires that I have had for over a decade. When I hooked up the Anti Cables I lost low end punch and dynamics. What used to give me goosebumps now just sounds lean. Any advice? Thanks.

I have the Anti-cables and they made a big difference in my rig in a positive way but I did loose some benefits compared to my XLO cable but the anti's are better & more musical. The bass in my rig improved, it's tight and well defined and definitely present.

I have read that the anti's can have different characteristics in different rigs so you maybe right about what your hearing but you do need to break them in (200hrs & hard to get that much break time in less than 30 days in case for refund) to get them to sing, only then can you really compare.

There's also Morrow & Bogdan cables but these are more expensive.

Good luck

Hiendmuse:

How long many hours did you have on the Anti's? Mine did not start to sound good till over 200hrs on them. There was a big difference with mine between new and 300+hrs.
