Bottom line Paul is a very nice guy, I bought speaker cables to him for $60 they sound amazing, I think I was the one who robbed him. He should charge $200.
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.

Chrisr when I bought those cable, I have a choice, regardless if those cables look good or ugly, I am after the sound not looks, also if I don't like them, I can return them, No question ask.Fortunately I like what his cables does to my system, I kept them and I am still using them. I respect how you feel and your opinion, here at Agon many times our opinions are not the same but we learn from them. |
Okay guys, OP here with an update. I ended up sending the 6.2s back, which AntiCables honored quickly and without fuss. I had an 845 SET amp coming in from China as I suspected my Emotiva was really letting me down (which, as it turned out, was the case) but my 30 days was up so I had to send them back. Also, these Chane A1.4s are really, really unresolving and seriously lack force/drive. I guess what that boils down to was that my system isn't, and still isn't, really capable of showing the difference between interconnects. My headphone setup is much more resolving, but the trouble there was that I was feeding a balanced amp (Mjolnir 2) from a balanced DAC (Gustard X20) using single-ended cables, which may have muddled the signal too much to tell a difference between interconnects. Certainly, using my Audio Sensibility XLRs there was a noticable improvement -- which, as I just suggested, might be more due to the balanced topology of my DAC and headphone amp. BTW, this is the Chinese amp I just bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Music-Angel-XDSE-HiFi-845-Vacuum-Tube-Amp-Class-A-Stereo-Integrated-Amplifie...~ The Chanes: https://www.chanemusiccinema.com/A1.4 The DAC: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GUSTARD-DAC-X20-ES9018-XMOS-Optical-Coaxial-AES-EBU-DAC-384KHz-DSD-DOP-Decod... |
