| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? No such thing as perfect bass response...varies by venue! So, that being the case, one can relax and get 1 or 2 subs for their system and play around until your happy with the sound. Doesn’t need to be over engineered or killed with angst! Have... | |
| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! Anticables Level 3 Reference Power Cord...absolutely astounding performance!! Replaced a Transparent Reference PC on my amp. | |
| Image/soundstage and punch/bass JBL | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! One of them, yes! All Kubrick actually...my next audio adventure will be “Ears Wide Shut”! | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! Re-visited my MIT HD38 speaker cables and was shocked at how much distortion was coming through compared to the Anticables! Bass was overly bloated and voices were more pinched dynamically versus the Anticables. Of course, inner detail and atmos... | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! @captaindidactic. Bottom line is that this jumper experience questions the Anticables speaker cables ability to handle mid to upper frequencies properly. Will continue to report as I experiment 👍 | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! Update! Playing the Anticables jumpers since this morning, and although they sounded initially better than before, it’s still not sounding good...actually quite irritating. Soundstage is completely confused and smeared together with upper harmon... | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! Oh, and of course a hassle free 30 day return policy! | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! I have the level 3.1 XLR’s, Speaker cables and jumpers. Anything above that seems to be a diminishing returns scenario plus they have more Silver. I would start with level 1 IC’s just to see results...all copper! 60 day option to try higher lev... | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! @captaindidactic I had the AQ Waters. Nice Interconnects and one of the best I’ve used. My Anticables IC’s are top tier but without the Shadow XLR’s...I don’t like the idea of silver contact pins 🙈. Same with the speaker cables, too heavy on the... | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! Also Pro Golded all my connections which seemed to add a certain loveliness which was missing 👍. Just a tad of smoothness and a hint of warmth! | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! @geoffkait Calling all GKaits....unbelievable, that’s all I can say!! I went to wrap up the Anticables Jumpers and I discovered that I did indeed have 1 of them hooked up backwards 🤪 Put them back into the full Anticables loom and played the Ar... | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! Put them back in ...listening to Jazz at the pawnshop and it sounds absolutely stunning:(). How long do these Anticables really take to break in, Jeez! Gonna give them 100 + till I make final judgement. Love the purity and see through quality. ... | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! Thanks Jafant. Early morning troubles however. Played my Arabesque recording of Shostakovich 1rst Symphony which I’ve owned since the 90’s when I began doing this high end thing and everything was off!!Emotional content was missing, tone not rig... | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! @asvjerry Very astute...I shall keep that in mind as I complete the breaking process for the Anticables. Supposedly very short time, but ya never know! |
