Speltz anti-ic's vs Nordost QuattroFil

The Speltz anti ic's are going through some serious changes as they break in. I have never heard the sonic changes in a cable like I am hearing now. They are very detailed out of the box. After 24 hours straight and 8 hours with a Purist Audio cd enhancer there is more depth, width and less detail. Warmer sound right now. If the detailed highs come back and they add a litle more weight on the bottom I would be extremely happy for the price I paid. Right now as they sit they beat a lot of other ic's. For $150 I had to give them a try as most should. Same thing goes for David Schulte's wire of the Upgrade Company, very detailed, open and not forward or colored. Excellent for high end systems that can handle the detail they deliver. Schulte's wire does not get in the way of your components. Again, you do not have to spend a fortune for really good cables. Upgrade Company speaker wire is better than anything I have tried period. Just the right tonality. It takes him a while to make but it is worth it and you don't have to pay for any ads. These two are definetly winners in my book for the people's choice award. If you want fancy names don't come round here!

The Speltz anti ic's are amazing. They are open,detailed and fast with a nice hint of warmth and not forward at all. Good solid bass extension. They seem to be more on the silver sounding side than copper because of the extended highs which are refined and sweet, not edgy. They will get your feet moving for sure. They are revealing and will let you know when you have made a change in your system for better or worse. People will shy away from these at this price point which is a big mistake. After they get some good run time, which I accelerated, they take on a new level.Farfetched claims are out the window. You don't need to trust the testimonials for a 1m pair with eichmann's for $150 bucks.They are going to rival some very good ic's out there.

Speltz on digital is excellent. No glare not forward and the highs are still detailed and transparent. Some do like the sound forward and detailed without the glare and Signal Cable silver did not take out the glare on digital.
Speltz anti ic's do not give you that roll off in the highs either like I thought they would. They do give you a relaxed presentation without rounding off everything. There is also more body in the mids and a tighter more extended low end which fills everything in and does not leave that hollow sound that most silver cables do. I thought I was going to get a thick syrupy sound and it just did not happen. When the cables start breaking in the mids start to get real congested and the highs lose there sparkle then they open back up again after a lot of hours! The speed, detail and openess is there like a silver conductor would produce but with more warmth and body. PRAT is definetly present!
I am voting for bargain of the century in ic's for sure without a doubt. It defenitly works great with Nuforce gear and digital cdp. I don't have vinyl so I can't comment there. Could be a contenda though! It is good to know that you do not have to spend a lot to get a lot and I am talking over 1k range. So Ori, I hear you have done some really good things with your new X2 ic and don't charge a fortune.It seems more and more people are coming out with good products at an affordable price so people can enjoy music and still fill there gas tanks.
