Anti-Cable High Frequency Performance


I've just installed a set of anti-cables in my bi-wired system with Magnepan 3.6 speakers. I find the bass and mid-range nice and tight and the overall sound very balanced, smooth, and natural. The soundstage is very good.

But I notice that the high end is not as extended as my previous cables (good quality oxygen free heavy gauge copper strand). There's less detail in the upper end.

I did twist the anti-cables as directed in the instructions to get as much high end performance as possible.

I like the natural sound but I miss the high end definition.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Or, does anyone have any advice about alternative cables at the same price?

I should say that I am very impressed with the overall quality of the sound. This is not an anti-anti-cable post. Just trying to tweak it some more.

I had the same problem with them. But I wasn't as impress with them are you are. In the end, I went back to some standard cables.
I still have a set in my office system. I think they sound JUST OKAY at the very best. Very little on the bottom and top end...

Just another bunch of cheap cable hype... you can do A LOT better...

i have a twisted pair of the anti cables. there is no loss of treble extension at all. if anything, there is too much treble emphasis.
I have a set of these cables that I have used with a four amp system. When I first received them, the cables sounded really nice, but then I went and replaced the 14 gauge amp power cords with 10 gauge cords, which extended the bass, I lost the last bit in the highs--the speakers sounded muted. I replaced the cables going to the high frequency drivers with a lower 18 gauge generic cable, actually stripped some old audioquest cables down, pulled out two of the wires, made my own cables, and have my highs back again. I left the ant-cables going to the low freqency drivers alone and am very happy with the set up.
