Anticables

The narrow minded quits reading after the 1st paragraph, shutting down as soon as he/she reads a statement that contradicts his/her unshakeable belief.  The open minded reads through the entire article and challenge the proposition.  Me too, i have had a very hard time when i heard someone affirmed for the first time that santa clause was only real in children's imagination.

I use the ANTICABLES Level 6.2 Reference ICs, Level 3 Power cords, and Level 5 Reference speaker cables which replaced items that were from 2X to 5X the cost of each of the ANTICABLES products. I am extremely satisfied with ANTICABLES products and highly impressed with the professional service received. I have conversed with Paul Speltz on several occasions and received great advice on various audiophile topics. In the next 3 months, I plan to purchase 2 more Level 3 power cords. Per my wife the sound of my system is clear and crisp - like being in the audience. I highly recommend ANTICABLES products if you like clarity, a wide soundstage, extreme detail, and deep and tight base. In terms of my system it has a recommended Absolute Sound class A preamplifier, class D amplifier, DAC, and electrostatic speakers.

I concur with your statement:

"The lesson for me was that when you introduce an excellent component into a stereo system, it will expose or clarify shortcomings in your other gear or setup."

I have had the ANTICABLES Level 5 speaker cables in my system for a little over a month and they are phenomenal. One of my audiophile buddies who has speaker cables listing for $15k had many compliments about the L5 cables and his final statement was "...your system is set..."

One imagines you were probably in your 30s. What tipped you off? The Santa Clause - do you mean the one buried at the bottom of the page in small print that no one ever reads.

Madavid0 - the two things in your system that may be SQ bottleneck...

The generic HDMI cables - I use Belkin cables and they outperform the other cables I've tried

The USB cable - I used the following cable.

It completely isolates the signal conductors from the power conductors and provided a significant improvement in SQ

I think you will find that replacing these two cables will allow the Anticables IC's to really show you what they can do

Hope that helps
