Scott, thanks for your review. Can you add as to whether you have a dedicated 115v line, and also if you tried the anticables level 3 PC with a source (CD player?) and found any difference?Thanks

I don't really enjoy providing negative personal experiences - especially as Paul was extremely gracious in giving me plenty of time to test, and ultimately return, my AC Reference 3 speaker cables. Having read the reviews, I awaited their arrival with great excitement. They were replacing Rocket 33's in my system. However they were *extremely* harsh sounding - rendering much of my music unlistenable. As mentioned above, I was able to give them about 60 days of use and they weren't getting much better. Replaced them with AQ GO-4's and am very happy. |
@oldears I don't have a dedicated line - wish I could install one, but I live in an apartment. With respect to source components... -CD player - I use one on my Marantz CD player in my office, which is hooked up to powered Audioengine speakers. It's hardly a resolving system, but the Level 3 power cord gives CDs a more analog sound. -Phono stage - my main system is turntable only. I've used the Level 3 PC on several different phono stages, both tube and solid state. It's sonic signature is very similar to what I mentioned with the amp: relaxed and clear, non fatiguing. I have noticed my better bass with most phono stages when using the Level 3. -Turnable motors - yes, this matters (and MUCH more than I thought). I've. used the Level 3 on a VPI Prime motor and currently on an Acoustic Signature Wow XL motor. When compared with other cables, the Level 3 provides a much larger sound stage and clearer vocals. I guess it's providing more stable electrical flow to the motor, but I was caught off guard by the difference it made. I have never tried any of the other cables from Anti-Cables, so I can't comment on ICs, speaker cables, or even Level 1 or 2 power cords. Best, Scott |
Scott, Thanks for this additional detail. I have a dedicated power line, PS Audio power ports, and all my electronics are AYRE 5 series with Ayre Conditioning; so I am dubious as to whether to expect any significant improvement from a power cord. Your response encourages me to try the Anticables PC since they offer a satisfaction guarantee. |
