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'm using the level 3 bi-wire speaker cables and level 2 ICs in an Oppo/Krell/Vandersteen system in a dedicated room with a dedicated AC line. It took longer that 400 hours, (600), for them to settle in, open up, and sound crystal clear, but once they did I can report that I'm very happy with them.
And Paul is a great guy to deal with...
Also, keep them off the floor, away from power cords and each other, away from all synthetic materials, and keep their lengths to the minimum needed.

Love the sound using Anticables speaker cables and ICs. Clean, clear and open. Slightly, very slightly tipped up from neutral in my treated, dedicated room, and in my system. Bi-wired from a Vincent SP-331 to Vandersteen 2Cs. They are more robust than they appear, though not as robust as one might hope for (fracture of the solder joint at the amp end of the bi-wired speaker cable due to being a little too forceful).  Easily remedied. Solid core. I like how they sound, I like the company's policies, Paul Speltz is a great guy to work with. Happy camper.
