Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives?

I've posted this before. I have a very high end system (you can see it listed under Opinions Please in Members systmes), and absolutely know that Anti-Cables are the best. I've had them all at one time or another, but am quite happy with Paul's cables. They look like wierd but sound wonderful.

For your system that might be true.

For others' systems you have no idea.

Good luck to you.

Wow I thought expensive meant $1,000 for speaker cable. You as a group seem to think it's reasonable. And all I had to drink was coffee.

Was it Starbucks coffee? Just goes to show that beauty (and expense) is in the eye of the beholder :-)

Hi Audiofeil... No that's not true. I've never heard a system that didn't benefit from Paul's cables. If one's goal is to temper highs, color the mids, etc, then you can look elsewhere. That's not what audiophiles are after Audiofeil...

stringreen, i must agree w/ audiofeil.

i've anticables as a 'sanity-test', and oddly they performed better than $3k cables under a diff config in my system.

but these days, they, like all budget cables i've tried, cannot hold a candle to the uber-$ cables i've had in (prana, jorma, transparent).

if your system isn't reference level, no point in buying expensive cables; but if it is, then you may very well find your biggest bang for buck improvement is indeed in cabling.

(i'll cover this phenomenon more in my review of prana cables in dagogo, due in a couple months)
