I have to reverse my position a bit on my earlier declaration that the silver cables were superior. AFter spending some weeks with them, I have been starting to have that feeling that something was not quite right, definitely a bit of magic missing. The sound was a bit "too bright" on many recordings with a sort of fatiguing upper mid range and lack of mid-bass. So I went back to the Anti-cables and discovered a rounder, more musical sound, a bit more mid-bass and although the highs were not as "sparkling", I feel that the sound of most instruments, especially horns and flutes, is more natural. (still no break-in period)
I think I was initally impressed with the highs of the silver wire and more so since I listened to so much guitar in my comparisons. Long listening to a variety of music left me feeling that they were cold and too sharp.
Anyway, I am happy to report that the anti-cables seem to have brought everything back to where I really enjoy listening to everything again. Really good cables and I personally like that they are stiff and can be shaped to fit my runs.
and Carl109, if you happen to read this - I agree with you, perfection is not the goal! I don't know what I would do if I actually did get anything "perfect" in my life.
