Anticables

Good lord, jaybe, i was just kidding you, and now you tell me my hearing isn't right!  
But to be honest with you, i am not surprised at all and i agree with you that they are not that great... i tried to stay polite, but sometimes by trying to do complicated you get worse results...
Have you found any reputable, honest cable manufacturer, or recording engineer, or speaker designer that will tell you that you hit the ceiling in performance really quickly after fundamentals have been met with cables?
I have some links that will surprise you!

Maybe the OP is hearing his system for what it truly sounds like?  Sometimes better shows us the warts.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, just like we have our preferences as to the dynamics of the music that comes from our speakers.
Systems are always dependent upon the components which make them up including the incoming AC.
There is always going to a product that sounds better regardless of what one owns.

I have bi-wired solid core ANTICABLES & ZEROBOXES with Vandersteen 3a Signatures and a 140 watt Atma-sphere. Sounds great!

I’m also using Gold ANTICABLE XLRs out of my preamp. Love them.

I’d like to try Paul’s power cables, but I currently have an ISOCLEAN a/c power outlet and power cords running to my amps (and am totally happy with my ISOCLEAN gear so, I'm not replacing that.)

I’m completely happy with my ANTICABLE products - especially for the price.

You would be triply happy with same gauge cables sounding as good and costing 10 times less.  Just a thought.
