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.

Solid core seems to make sense and a friend of mine loves his anti cables, but they seem fragile. I use mostly AQ solid core in my rig as it seems to work...balanced and unbalanced ICs and Type 8 speaker.

+1 Audio sensibility, they use OCC cables. They have their own cables manufactured. I’m using their balanced phono cable with great success. I use AQ wires for everything else. Solid.

I'm sure Anticables will be happy to know that their products aren't a scam afterall. ; With the equipment you were using for evaluation purposes,any ability to discern was highly skewed from the getgo...

You are correct, they are very cheap in quanity. Curse this brain tumor. I think it was something like magnet wire, likely wrong!

I have the 6.2 and I couldn't be happier. I've stopped critiquing and started listening. I know that sounds cliche but it is what it is,
