I have to agree with Muralmann1. I never had a problem with my Anti-Cables. As a matter of fact, I compared them with Purist Anniversary, Kimber Select, Audioquest Sky, etc. and in my system only Audioquest was similar (although the price difference was not). Every wire both speaker and interconnects are Anti-Cables (interconnects are XLR balanced and speaker is bi-wired). I have nothing but positive feelings toward this cable. I've plugged and unplugged the wire...it sounds different, but always comes back to its glorious self. All wire sounds different when moved...Cardas has a big thing about this on their website.
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 ?
