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.

An engineer would tell you that the only factors that really matter are resistance and shielding, unless the wire is carrying very small current as those produced by phono carts.

If you can't hear a difference, you might as well return the Anti Cables and save some cash.
I'm using the level 3 bi-wire speaker cables and level 2 ICs in an Oppo/Krell/Vandersteen system in a dedicated room with a dedicated AC line. It took longer that 400 hours, (600), for them to settle in, open up, and sound crystal clear, but once they did I can report that I'm very happy with them.
And Paul is a great guy to deal with...
Also, keep them off the floor, away from power cords and each other, away from all synthetic materials, and keep their lengths to the minimum needed.
