Yuk, yuk! Good one! 🐮
A guy goes down a one way street the wrong way. A cop stops him and tells he was going down a one way street. The guy says, but I was only going one way. 🤗 |
SS, right. That means the arrows are there because the wire itself is directional. |
One more question. The Anticables speaker wires are unshielded, correct? |
Just curious, are the Anti Cable speaker wires directional?
|
I’m sure Belden and Alfa cables are made well but they don’t sound quite as good as some high end cables . Maybe if you cryod them they'd have a better chance. Another inexpensive wire is mil spec US Navy wire, silver Teflon copper, available all over eBay in just about any gauge you want. |

Happy fish swimming down the river loves to jump. Electrons are just the same. Why restraining this happy energy in one single strand?
Actually, electrons aren’t the same as happy fish. They don’t go down the river. At least not in AC circuits. Photons do, though, and happy to do so.

Me too, i have had a very hard time when i heard someone affirmed for the first time that santa clause was only real in children’s imagination.
One imagines you were probably in your 30s. What tipped you off? The Santa Clause - do you mean the one buried at the bottom of the page in small print that no one ever reads.

It appears I'm caught up in another episode of Revenge of the Nerds.

Re Roger Russell’s encyclopedia of wire and cables, I got as far as the beginning of the second paragraph, to whit,
"Resistance in the speaker circuit is the key factor that determines loudspeaker performance. The loudspeaker circuit includes the connecting wire between the amplifier terminals and the speaker terminals, the amplifier internal impedance and the impedance of the speaker system."
Once I ran into that exceedingly narrow view of things I pretty much pre-cogged the rest of Roger Russell's encyclopedia. So, for that reason I’m out.

I have no reason to believe Anticables is scamming me in the sense of a bait-and-switch or the like.
But -- for example -- if the conductors are not a gold-silver alloy but actually just standard copper wire stock, I think that could be called a scam. Likewise if they purposefully misrepresented subjective qualitative claims that would also be a scam.
In light of all the positive, even rave reviews of Anti Cables maybe it’s time for some introspection. If every negative result meant that the thing under test is a scam there simply wouldn’t be anything left that isn’t a scam. There are perfectly good reasons why folks sometimes don’t get good results with anything you’d like to name. But I reckon especially cables and certain tweaks. Subjective claims are, well, subjective. You can't exactly sic Better Business Bureau on anyone for subjective claims, at least I'm pretty sure BBB would tell you they don't have the time or inclination for such things.

Well I have to agree: my opinion is not scientific fact. really, I had no idea.
The new Reduced Dislocation Density (RDD™) Wire provides:
An increased sense of volume
More "real" sounding midrange
Less grain noise
Even smoother highs (like driving on a newly blacktopped road)
More bass and better bass articulation
More exciting and involving
More bass and less grain noise? How can this happen, they have been able to reduce resistance? Decrease inductance, or both? How did they find out there’s more bass?
With every upgrades, there’s more bass. And lots of it for the dollar.
Undoubtedly they’re cryoing their cables. Imagine that. Sha-ZAM!

Whoa! What? Not many reviews of Anti Cables? A quick I.e., 10 second, search turned up quite a few reviews plus Q&A, forum comments, etc. for Anti Cables including reviews by most major audio online magazines. Where’s the beef?
Here is the conclusion from the review in Positive Feedback,
"I could ramble on, providing more examples of how great these cables sound, but why waste my time or yours? At their ludicrously affordable price, the risk of trying them is low. They are a genuine steal! They would be a gargantuan value at twice the price. I recommend that you try them, even if you are not in the market for speaker cables. It’s not often that I encounter a diamond in the rough that glitters so brightly. I have to sign off now—I’ve got to go buy my wife a few pairs of shoes with all the money I just saved on these great speaker cables. What are you waiting for?"

Geoffkait: So, did you connect them in the right direction?

Lol, yes, I followed the arrows. I also tried them going in the wrong direction -- no difference was readily apparent to me!
Don't know what to tell you. Maybe there’s a mistake somewhere. Difficult to say...
