I just switched from Cardas to the much less expensive Anticables. I purchased 2 stereo sets of Anticables so that I could Bi Wire to my speakers, because they do not sell a Bi wired set. I wish that I would have done this a long time ago and saved myself a great deal of money. The Anticables are not even broken in and they sound terrific in my system, extremely musical, without any coloration. As Stringreen stated, you have nothing to lose by trying the Anticables, except a small stock fee if you do return them, but well worth the opportuntiy to determine whether they are right for your system.
