Anticables

Does anyone have any experience with Anticables products? I spent over $600 on a pair of honestly cheap-looking ICs from them and after 400 or so hours burning them in I'm hard-pressed to tell the difference between them and an old set of no name ICs built from pro cable stock and heavy metal RCA connectors.

For all I know they are made out of regular bulk copper spools in a plastic sheath and wrapped in a Slinky.

Geoffkait: So, did you connect them in the right direction?

madavid0 OP
Lol, yes, I followed the arrows. I also tried them going in the wrong direction -- no difference was readily apparent to me!

Don't know what to tell you. Maybe there’s a mistake somewhere. Difficult to say...

A scam would provide no recourse if you were unhappy. That is not the case here.

Please check out word definitions before you assault the innocent.

In other words, average equipment will produce average sound, no matter how "great" the cables may be... and... "great" equipment will produce "great" sound from most reasonably designed cables made from quality materials that don’t cost very much... whether the cables cost a little... or... a lot.

BTW, the cables in question are the 6.2 ABSOLUTE Signature RCA which is their top of the line.

I guess for now I'll swap out my current tubes with my best 1975 Reflektor silver shields...maybe swap back in my Utopia's original cabling and see what comes out of it...

I would keep in mind the possibility that you might have been similarly disappointed if you had purchased pretty much any other brand of $600 interconnects.  Components and systems vary widely in their sensitivity to cable differences, and in ways that do not necessarily correlate with their sonic quality or musical resolution.
