ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them?

While I want to try the cables simply because they're so inexpensive, I'm also hesitant to spend even this small amount of money on something that simply doesn't seem like it could possibly be an "upgrade" to what I'm hearing now. In that sense, Bbolival, you're right, it can't be all bad when "my ears are happy." I'll probably stick with the cables I'm using double-run DHLabs.

However, if anyone is running the Anti-Cables with Cains, let me know what you think.

Thanks for all the feedback folks. I have been using the anti-cables for about 2 weeks and from reading the feedback reference i now have other aspects of sound quality to listen for. I truly believe that everyone has there own opinion and idea's of how things should sound, along with the difference in audio equipment. As i said, i have been using them for about 2 weeks and i feel they do rival the MIT T2'S i have been using for some time. They come in with a pleasant brightness without the fatiguing ear blah's. The LF isn't as strong as the mit's but i believe they are a bit more defined and to the point. At this price point, i would most definately say they are one of the best and most inexpensive upgrades to hit the market so far. I have yet to try the ic's against some of the other ic's in my system.
Great job Paul, keep them coming. Peace.

Arkprof you're using a double run of Q10s or T4s?

I actually had a freebie pair of Magnetwire speaker cable a gentlement name Jim Hess used to sell on this forum that had been sitting in a closet for over a year. I had replaced them with Acoustic Zen wiring (first Satori, then Holograms, then Satori again and finally Hologram II) and never looked back. Then shortly after purchsing my abbys something just didn't do it for me. At the suggestion of Terry I decided to root through my closet and broke out the magnet wire. I'll be damned if it didn't best the AZ cables in most every avenue in my system! Dynamics were much better, sound was no longer soft and flabby, soundstage stayd about the same but imaging really improved and overall I greatly prefered the new tonality. This was about 5 months ago now, and I'm still using the Magnetwire with no desire to change--this says a lot about me as I'm a very 'fidgity' hobbyist.

For the price they're worth a try and if I'm not mistaken Speltz offers a money back trial. Give it a shot, worst case scenario you've learned something from the expereince and are out ~$5 for the shipping.

i'm still at a loss as to why people are paying $10 per foot for 12 guage magnet wire that retails for about $3-4 per pound. a 10 foot pair costing $200 is about 10x what you would pay for an entire spool of this stuff, which has 100 feet or better. there's no magic here, it's just magnet wire. sure it works and sounds great, but people need to do their homework and save some serious money. those isoblocks sold for $25 to $50 for a set are the same ones you can get at a furniture store or appliance store for about $1 each or less. and no, they are not "specially tuned" or formulated in any way by the resellers.
