Anticables

I concur with your statement:

"The lesson for me was that when you introduce an excellent component into a stereo system, it will expose or clarify shortcomings in your other gear or setup."

I have had the ANTICABLES Level 5 speaker cables in my system for a little over a month and they are phenomenal. One of my audiophile buddies who has speaker cables listing for $15k had many compliments about the L5 cables and his final statement was "...your system is set..."

I use the ANTICABLES Level 6.2 Reference ICs, Level 3 Power cords, and Level 5 Reference speaker cables which replaced items that were from 2X to 5X the cost of each of the ANTICABLES products. I am extremely satisfied with ANTICABLES products and highly impressed with the professional service received. I have conversed with Paul Speltz on several occasions and received great advice on various audiophile topics. In the next 3 months, I plan to purchase 2 more Level 3 power cords. Per my wife the sound of my system is clear and crisp - like being in the audience. I highly recommend ANTICABLES products if you like clarity, a wide soundstage, extreme detail, and deep and tight base. In terms of my system it has a recommended Absolute Sound class A preamplifier, class D amplifier, DAC, and electrostatic speakers.

Speaking of electrons you may want to visit the High Fidelity Cables website to get their view of how important electrons are to the sound.
