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.

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.
bassdude, - quote of the week!....although it is only Monday...still, pretty good IMO
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.

I think for peace of mind, the best way to do cables is by home audition through the Cable Company. You'll get advice on what's likely to work and then you can pick three cables to audition. Then you can decide if one is synergistic with your system or if all three offer no improvement over your current cables. At worst, you lose 5%, cheap price considering. I found I liked Purist Audio Designs over some well-known competitors and I thought I would prefer Kimber. My two cents.
