Anti-Cable High Frequency Performance


I've just installed a set of anti-cables in my bi-wired system with Magnepan 3.6 speakers. I find the bass and mid-range nice and tight and the overall sound very balanced, smooth, and natural. The soundstage is very good.

But I notice that the high end is not as extended as my previous cables (good quality oxygen free heavy gauge copper strand). There's less detail in the upper end.

I did twist the anti-cables as directed in the instructions to get as much high end performance as possible.

I like the natural sound but I miss the high end definition.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Or, does anyone have any advice about alternative cables at the same price?

I should say that I am very impressed with the overall quality of the sound. This is not an anti-anti-cable post. Just trying to tweak it some more.

I cant understand why anyone would prefer anything else. In my system the highs are as clean and clear as I've ever heard. The cables are extremely natural with a supurb soundstage..very deep, very wide. The bass when required, shakes the house but with pitch and definition. Ive said this before, but, I tried almost everything out there including the highest priced spreads from the most prestigeous manufacturers, and nothing is as good as the anticables.
Stringreen, you mention bass that shakes the house... I failed to mention that upon adding the anti-cables, the bass I'm now hearing from my Maggies now delivers a sledgehammer-like impact when called for, and has reached a depth I never knew these speakers were capable of... Solid-core wire to a woofer is almost like being attached via bus bar straight from an amp. Tried these cables upon a friend's recommendation since I figured for the price I had nothing to lose (thought the high-dollar cables I'd been using for years couldn't be beat), and it turned out to be one of the most valuable changes I've made to my system.
Cables are very system and listener dependent, as we all know. You hear what you hear. Don't try to fool yourself.
