I have experience with AntiCables. The design eliminates a distortion that is produced typically by multi stranded cables in signal transfer. There is a fuzzy quality that can be heard on systems that have enough transparency to unmask this effect. I do not understand all the technical factors as an engineer can explain them, but when a signal is being transferred down a typical fine stranded cable all the fine cables that touch one another, suffer with a type of electronic jumping across from one strand to another. Litz wire which has each fine strand insulated from one another eliminates this distortion. AntiCable simply eliminates that particular type of distortion by only offering a single huge strand. But? In doing so, includes another kind of distortion, because a single strand that size has other issues as frequencies travel down the copper. If I am not mistaken, certain frequencies travel closer to the outside surface than other frequencies. Fine strands will not have that kind of distortion.. Anti Cable eliminates definitely one type of distortion, but I found the leading edge of the sound to be blunted a bit. If transparency is not there to begin with? Then one may wonder what the big deal is about.
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.
