I used anticables in the past. I disconnected them and re-connected them and they never sounded the same again. I only moved them slightly when I disconnected them from the back of the speakers and amp. They never returned to their previous performance even after a substantial time to allow them to settle back in. I never could figure it out. I checked phasing, spade connections etc. You may have to buy another set, but that experience turned me off. One guy suggested to me that I had stressed the connection of the spades to the cable and that could be the problem. There may be something to this since the connection is not the sturdiest.
Unplugging / replugging Anti Cables Changes things
I recently had to move my Linn LK140 power amp sideway by 6 inches to make some room. I had to unplug my Anti Cables from the power amp.
When I replug my cables back to the amp, the previous sumptious and open sound of this beautiful cable were gone. Instead, it now sounded congested and somewhat masked.
After over 10 hours of playing, the openness of the previous sound came back a bit, but not fully. I have been playing the amp for well over 50 hrs now, the previous sumptuous open sound of the Anti Cables (when I had over 200 hrs of continuous playing unplugged) never fully returned.
Has anyone experience this strange phenomenon ?
