Anyone tried Shunyata's Antares interconnect yet ?

I have the Anatares Helix IC's in my system as well as the Orion speaker cables. Absolutely love them. I went through an extensive process several months ago once I had decided to upgrade my MIT Oracle v1.1 speaker cables and IC's. The MIT's were just not a good match for my equipment. Anyway, I demoed in my room the Nordost Vahalla, Acoustic Zen Absolute, Silversmith Silver and Palladium, Harmonic Tech, etc. IMO, the Shunyata's give you the best of the silver/ribbons (immediacy, transparency, speed) and the network cables (tonal accuracy and realisitic weight).

I strongly endorse them and would suggest you give them a listen.

Hi Mika,

No, my high end dealer did not carry Transparent's top of the line models so I was not able to compare them in my bake-off. I know they are highly regarded. It will be interesting to get some feedback from Dgad on that score. All I can say is that I continue to be very happy with the Shunyata's.

Mkilpi,

After extensive listening to the Shunyata cables I came to the conclusion that while initially they seem to be "lean" on the bass side, that really they are producing an accurate sonic picture of the original event. In other words, I believe most other cables overweight the bass (kind of like a built in loudness switch).

Has anyone in this thread tried the Orion Shunyata speaker cable (their current top of the line) or is this thread just about interconnects?
