Anticables


Does anyone have any experience with Anticables products? I spent over $600 on a pair of honestly cheap-looking ICs from them and after 400 or so hours burning them in I'm hard-pressed to tell the difference between them and an old set of no name ICs built from pro cable stock and heavy metal RCA connectors.

For all I know they are made out of regular bulk copper spools in a plastic sheath and wrapped in a Slinky.

I am well familiar with lAnti's ....I know all the levels and have followed the company for years.   They first came to my attention many years ago when they got an excellent review from The Absolute Sound...they were using magnet wire at the time.   Since then they have been getting better and better using better materials, and connectors. (Silver, Xadow connectors)  I must remind everyone that all cables sound different in different systems.  Anti's are well made, sound very good and are a bargain at their price levels.  If their performance is not to your liking, return them.
some of the posters here just don't know what they talk about when they bash anticables.   Only when you have used them/know them for what they are should you critique them.  They may not be for everyone, but neither are Purist, Cardas, Audioquest, etc.
Anti's are made with and without shielding.....no shielding sounds more open to me.
These posts are so much like I hear from those who debate politics.  I've had different levels of AntiCables for perhaps 8 or 9 years.....I have never had any problems with them.  They are not magnet wire, they are drawn with a direction with good copper....or silver for the top level.  They don't look like ordinary cables...they are very thin with a red spiral around them.....but what they look like means less to me than what they sound like.   In truth, I compared the top of the line Anti's to Wireworld top level silver, and Anti's are very, very similar.  If people here don't know truth, they shouldn't post. My system is all Ayre and Vandersteens
Anti's are good cable...made well, perform above their price point.   They are very thin and may look fragile, but they are not.
