Anti-Cabls Ic's alternatives?


I have Anti-cable speaker wire in my system and really like the way it sounds. I'm thinking of also buying the anti-cable ic's to upgrade my Kimber PBJ ( these ic's sound very glaring to me, especially in the vocals).

My only concern is someone mentioned that anti-cable Ic's are unshielded and this can cause problems. Should this be something to worry aboout? I'm not too familiar with the argument of shielded vs non shielded so bare with me.

If someone has a better recommendation based on my sysytem then feel free at your suggestion and how it bested the Anti-Cable

I've had Signal Cables' copper interconnects (forget the nomenclature) here on trade and listened to them for a few weeks.

They are a very high value product as are anti cables. For folks on a budget, it's a no brainer. In a highly resolving system, you'll find them lacking in detail and body. They are similar to anti cables in that regard.

I have no financial affiliation with Signal.

Resolving is a subjective term muralboy and is interpreted differently by all listeners so your claim is simply bogus.

I've owned 2 pairs of Apogees, Caliper and Duetta Signatures. I'm familar with the strengths and weaknesses of ribbons. They are not for everybody.

However, if the anticables work well with your playskool electronics, I'm happy for you.

Have fun.

Resolving is not measurable because it is not even definable.

Every person has a different concept of "resolving".

However, if muralman wants to pursue this I would ask the following:
1. If resolution can be measured, please list the appropriate units and parmameters in the quantification.
2. What tools, instruments, meters, apparatus, etc. are used in the measurement.

Thanks in advance.

Tvad, I will stand down on the subject of measuring resolution. It is far more complicated, and not fully reliable than I had been led to believe.<<

To the contrary, it is very simple.

Resolution is not measurable.

Period.
