Speltz Anti Cables

There was some talk earlier of braiding them. I have a couple long cable runs - between 12 and 15 feet - and it would be much easier if I braided them. Would this work?

Speaker cables with high inductance i.e. wide spacing between the conductors can alter the sonics of a system in many different ways with different perceptions. My experience is that by rolling off treble due to the high inductance, a system suffering from artificial brightness and / or high frequency smearing now sounds smoother and the shift in tonal balance adds body and fullness.

This is the same reason that "warm sounding" tube based components have become so popular i.e. the colourations that they enter into a system tends to hide or mask other problems upstream ( hard and brittle sounding digital ), making them a match made in Heaven for some folks. That match made in Heaven is what some might call "system synergy" while others would call it "complimentary colourations".

Like i said before, you guys are hearing many of the benefits of a solid core conductor, which i've highly promoted for many years now, but you're only getting part of the picture. Whether or not you want to see the rest of the picture or will like what it looks like once you do see it will depend on the rest of your system and / or your personal preferences. Sean

So should they be twisted or just left untwisted. Would twisting them be the better choice to start with at say three or four twists per foot.? Or would you try then just loose on the first try?

At a minimum, I would use grocery store twists or ties or something to keep them very close together. When I first tried them, they were completely loose and spaced however they naturally fell on the ground, and they sounded terrible.

I twisted them as reccommened and they are very nice. They have no character which could be good or bad but I think they are nice and revealling. I may revert back to my old cables for their character but maybe not. These things have to be heard to believe. I am using Anti jumpers, Anti cables and so far one balanced anti interconnect from pre to amp. I'm expecting one more interconnect for CDP to Pre. I look forward to it.
I like these cables. I was not convinced but am now but I still may go back to a more relaxed yet detailed warmer cable. I don't know yet. I do know they are allot better than I expected and am extremely pleased.
