Speltz anti-ic's vs Nordost QuattroFil

I have a couple of the Speltz cables in key positions in my systems and would say they are warm sounding cables. I'm pretty sure the Nordost are less warm sounding.

So for your application, I vote for SignalCable Silver Resolution wiring.

I wouldn't necessarily consider the Speltz anti-ics warm or warmer. Although they are perhaps slightly more full-bodied than other similar performaning ics.

I've compared the Speltz'ics to other cables that were performance competitive to the Nordost Valhallas (but not the QuatroFil) and the Speltz were easily superior.

In fact, thus far, there is only one ic that I've heard that is better performaning than the Speltz anti-ics and that's the Audio Teknes, which is what I currently use.

Funny thing about this hobby, the SignalCables Silver Resolution Plato mentions weren't even in the same performance league as the Speltz ics in my system. And I highly regard Plato's opinions. Especially when it comes to amplifiers.

-IMO

Thanks for responses.

The Quattrofil listed at $600 has been snapped up by somebody but it's likely I"ll get one of these.

I've also read that Speltz's anti ic's far outperform their price and beat Nordost SPM's and Kimber Selects(little far-fetched claim) so I'll also be considering these in my secondary setups if they don't live up to my expectations.

Cheers.

I wouldn't say the claims are far-fetched about the Speltz cables especially with their anti-ics.

Swapping in a 1m pair of the $100 Speltz anti-ics made my $3500 pair of ics sound veiled in highs and bloated in the bass. Which I sold immediately.

The Speltz anti-ics also easily surpassed another pair of ics that were direct performance competitors to Nordost Valhallas (according to a number of reviewers).

Far fectched claims? Hardly. Are the Speltz cables the best buy of this century? Perhaps.

-IMO

Have you tried the Oritek X-1s or X-2s? Clear, clear, clear. No warmth. Just the music. IMHO.
