Anticables

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.

For what it's worth, I have been extremely impressed by their power cables (Level 3).  They have outperformed more expensive cables in my system, and it wasn't close.  Haven't tried any of their other cables, but in my rig the power cables are excellent (and a bargain).  

I think you're using the term "scam" too liberally here.  You didn't like their ICs - it happens.  I don't like Kimber in my setup, but Kimber is not a scam.

Been buying and selling on AudioGon for decades and have been scammed twice. First, was a set of relatively inexpensive interconnects that were clearly inferior to what I was using and the manufacturer would not take them back. Fortunately, this huckster is no longer selling his wares at this time. I finally wound up using them for back channels in my garage set-up. The second was a more expensive component that was roughly cleaned and damaged before sending it my direction and would not take it back as well. Aside from that, I have had nothing but positive experiences on many other items.

With respect to AntiCables, I used there best speaker cables in my reference system for a time and they were adequate, but were no match for the Audio Magic cables I replaced them with. I've used their interconnects as well with basically the same results.

Summarizing, my experience is that the AntiCables are a good value, but are not in the same league as many other higher end products.
