Anti-Cables are soooo cheap and returnable if not satisfied, it would be a shame not to try them. I know what I'm talking about
Actually, I used the Ayre interconnect and found them very similar to Cardas of which I am not a fan. I have tried many cables and the best of the best are the Audioquest silver (rediculously expensive) and the Anti-Cables (rediculously cheap). I know that sounds wierd, but these 2 cables sound very, very similar - open, extended, dynamic, grain free, etc. Cardas has a closed in grainy sound that doesn't appeal to me.
I'm sure glad some of you are happy with your Ayre Cables. I am positive of what I hear on my system, and Audioquest Silver or Anti-Cables kill the Cardas or Ayre stuff. Ayre sounds almost identical but a little flatter - less tube-like than Cardas. Ayre uses Cardas hookup wire, etc, but that stuff is way different than speaker or interconnect. I clearly hear lots of grain, and smaller picture, etc. with the Cardas/Ayre cables. You pay your money and get what you want.
