@blindjim. I’ve had most of the stuff you mentioned in and out of my systems over the years.  I’m sure some of the synergy has to be related to the gear as usual, but overall the Anticables seem to deliver a more uniform result.  They don’t get in...

Didn’t want to believe it, but Anticables are the real deal.  Started with their power cord and then Interconnects.  Now trying the speaker cables.  They have bested my previous $4k power cord and $12k interconnects!  They are phenomenal

Buy what you can afford.  Choose your room.  Set up system. Put on some primo tunes.  Move speakers around until they sound awesome.  Sit back and enjoy.  Avoid neurotic tendencies.  Oh, have a beer (insert favorite drink here)!! 
Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion
In contrast to all that has been said, I must admit to really digging the occasional formative tune on my trucks sound system!  Imaging is meaningless and rarely thought of in such circumstances but does not diminish the aural pleasure in the leas...

BTW, I read the poorly written article.  It would appear the author is as confused as most of the posters here.  We are animals, who by design need to make sense of our experiences.  No matter what technology, source or venue supplies the stimulus...
