Speltz anti-cables and Vandersteens.......

Well guys and gals.......... Two weeks later, and all I can say is WOW !!! I am incredibly impressed in the way with which the Anti-Cables have improved the sound of music coming out of my system. I am reinforcing the comments in my 1/21 and 1/22 posts, with enthusiasm and total satisfaction. My Vandersteens have never sounded better, and my Rega/Rotel front end and Rogue amplification seem to all be getting along quite well with the new cables.
Happy Listening my friends, and LET'S GO GIANTS !!!

it would be great if you now changed back to the AQ's to see if you still like the A-C best

I am very glad to come across this thread.

I just picked up a pair of bi-wire Speltz Anti-Cables to use between my Rogue Cronus Magnum and Vandersteen 2ce Sig II's. They're replacing some old AQ Type 4, the only bi wire cable I had around at the time I got the speakers.

Haven't had a chance to install them yet, but Adam's impressions make me very hopeful :)

I concur- I think the antis are a real gift for affordable cable buyers.
I've been using Antis in my bedroom system for awhile, as well as a couple of pairs of anti-ICs. I think they are better than the other "affordable" options I've used, such as AQ and even Kimber 8TC, and many older formulations. They are not as satisfying as todays best offerings in the "over $500" class, however. My Zu Libtecs ($800 retail, but available on ebay for around $200-250/ 8ft.) have better soundstaging and are more neutral on top, and the Acoustic Zen Satori Shotguns ($1188/8ft.) are in a different league all around. That said, these improvements are not necessarily apparent in all systems. The Antis are a great value, though, particularly used.
I also think the Anti-ICs w/ Eichmanns are an even better performer for the $. They are quite nice sounding. I do like the Zu Mission IC better, being more refined sounding, but it is twice the price.

I am using anti-cables with my Vandersteen 5A and Ayre electronics with great success. Look at A/assylum classified.
