Anticable Cables: what do you like about them thread?

Thought that I would bump this thread as I am fairly certain that Anticable have received more best in show awards.

So, what do you like them?

I just wanted to share my experience with Paul (the owner) of Anticables. My experience with him was actually related to Spatial audio speakers rather than his cables, as he is a demo site and dealer for Spatial Audio. I spoke to Paul regarding coming to audition the speakers and he was extremely friendly and invited me to his home where the speakers are set up. I had to change the day of the audition due to unforeseen issues and moved it back to the following day. Paul was getting ready and packing for the show out in DC that is going on right now, but still fit me into his schedule.

I came to his home and was greeted by him and his very sweet wife, Judy. Paul led me to his listening room and set me up in there with all of his equipment and let me use his own personal system to check out the speakers. He even brought me dinner while I was listening!

In the end I'm not sure that the Spatial Audio speakers were for me, but all I can say is that Paul is an extremely friendly and awesome guy. If you are considering purchasing Spatial Audio speakers or cables from his business Anticables, you cannot work with a better guy. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase anything from him, and I am very confident that if you had any issues he would take care of you.

" tomcarr, yes, its called parallel Bi-wire. i got it from the Anti-cable site under FAQ. All i know is that it works, all it cost me to try it was 36.00 bucks. i clearly heard a difference with the jumpers and preferred it that way. Greg "  

For many years I have been bi-wiring without jumpers.  A few years ago, in an email exchange with Paul, he recommended adding the jumpers.  I recall being skeptical and did not try it (though I had no knowledge or facts as to why it wouldn't work).

For some reason, I decided to try this.  Last night I made a set of jumpers out of some 12 GA OCC wire and gold/copper bananas.  This morning I added the jumpers.

I prefer bi-wiring with the jumpers.

I recently purchased a set of "Anticables" interconnects. They are of the (5.2) analog type with RCA connectors, with a length of (0.5 meter).

Currently? I cannot stand them...

But in the paperwork which came with the pair. "Anticables", do recommend a break-in period. Stating that the sound may actually get worse "before" they settle in and improve.

Hee hee, And I can attest to that last sentence being very true at this point!

 So, that particular system has been running now for about (300) Hrs., and I was hoping someone here may have an idea as to how long this break in period was for a similar pair of interconnects from "Anticables".

Anyone?
