IS THE NEW LEVEL 3 CABLE MORE ATTRACTIVE IN TERMS OF FLEXIBILITY??. THE OLDER CABLE WAS CONTORTED LIKE A COAT HANGER. IT ALSO DOES NOT DO WELL ON CABLE RISERS. I THINK SPEAKER CABLE SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT FLEXIBLE, AND NOT RIGID. PLEASE LET ME KNOW, IF THE LEVEL 3 SPEAKER CABLE IS EASIER TO WORK WITH. THANKS, jIM
Sunnyjim - Anticable is literally what the name implies, not cable. It is instead extruded solid core copper wire covered with a very thin dialectic coating - this is what gives it such high performance for low prices. The new level 3 wire is actually a pair of 12 guage wires twisted along the length and crimped to a single termination.
As for being difficult to work with, it takes some time to bend and form, but once done most systems won't need cable risers. My previous set of Anticable equaled the ten times as expensive Nordost cables I was using - I suspect the new Level 3 I just purchased will surpass it.
