Anti-cables alternatives

There are several cables that use magnet wire - but most use long crystal high purity copper of course. Having them waving in the breeze rather that put alongside bad stuff like Teflon is a very good idea if you ask me, and have been able to verify the benefits of doing so with home made cables. Almost all cables are compromised by the need to wrap them up to make them acceptable to consumers, and none of those wrappings improve the sound. I am not saying anti-cables are any better than any other cable, but I am saying being derisory about the lack of sound destroying insulation and wrapping is somewhat dopey, and deriding magnet wire is at least a little misguided since there are a few good cables that use it (though you might never know without cutting them open).

Redkiwi: nothing wrong with magnet wire thickness for interconnects. It's actually preferable to high gauge (say #14) wire in general, from my experience. The "wrapping" should serve several good purposes. First is the mechanical stability by absorbing vibrations. Second is the practical implementation of shielding, which is a necessary evil with some cables. Last is for protection of the actual wires. Then there is also the aesthetic side of things, which is important to most of us for WAF...
But I won't argue with "success". If bare wires do the best job in your system and you can live with them - so be it.

I don't use the anti-cables, but yes I do find bare cable or enamelled cable to perform very well in some circumstances and to be more naturally dynamic and more neutral than the effect of poly whatsit or teflon. Absorbing vibration is an issue but teflon is rubbish for that job.

Quite. For mechanical support one can use wide masking tape (paper, one side adhesive). Both JD & I have done this and it's fine (rather than have the wires dangling in the air).

Does anyone know of a source for bulk OFC magnet wire?
