Who has tried the anti-cables loosely or tightly tied together,or even twisted verses keeping the individual cables spaced apart by at least a couple of inches?Has anyone experimented and found a sonic difference? 
Help with AC noise please
I had the MF tube buffer in my system for a while.It improved detail and was smooth but it smeared the bass.Thats one reason I sold it.The other,it was noisey,hiss,crackle,pop.I switched out 3 different pairs of tubes with no success.

I asked Paul Speltz about how to configure his cables; he allowed me to quote him here:==============================Dave,The last time I went on the A-gon discussion form, they chopped the entire discussion out. I must have broken some "rule", so... 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
Xindak SCD-2 with copper lined chassis,tranny cover,NOS Tesla's 2 channel only.After a series of CD players,this CD/SACD player finally allowed me to sell off all my analog gear without regret.

Sean-I opened the link 'innersound/Goertz combo'.In AA I see you mentioned Threshold which I own.Im not a tech.whiz but am I way off 'assuming'all this information about amps oscillating will make the anti-cables a poor/dangerous match for my amp?... 
Paradigm 9SEMKIII... Dark Speakers?
Slap-To answer your question about the 'paradigm sound'..When I went from the 9se to Paradigm Studio Reference speakers,the differences were as night and day.In fact,the Reference V-1 line has a tweeter that many referred to as tizzy or bright.Thi... 
Paradigm 9SEMKIII... Dark Speakers?
Slap Man-You have a pair of decent speakers.I had the 9se mkIII's many years ago and you can beat the s%it out of them! 93 dB,8 ohm if my memory is right.You arent hearing low volume detail because they don't have high frequency extention.It is ro...

I just recieved my anti-cables in the mail.Very fast shipping!They sure are stiff,more than I imagined.I havent installed them yet but have read over the 'manual' Paul includes.Im a bit confused with what he writes."The stiffness of the wires will... 
Marshall Tucker Re-masters
The Marshall Tucker Band Remasters "Carolina Dreams" (2004/Shout DK37526) sounds as good as any 'audiophile' CD I have heard.In fact,besides loving this recording,it is one of the CD's I use for evaluating cables,tubes etc.The whole CD is awesome.... 
ELP laser turntable - any comments?
A stylus will brush some fine dust aside with no ill effects.The laser in the ELP will magnify dust with ill effects.(clicks/pops) Fatparrot is right on. 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference
Cinematic-Your Fibre 18.2's look very well made.Do they sound as good as they look?How do they stack up against a similary sized/priced ATC?Thank you for 'straightening' me out...dude :~)
