Morrow SP1 or SP2 cable vs Speltz Anti-Cable?

Rebbie, I owned 2 sets of Anti-Cables in the past and have the Morrow SP1 now. As far as I'm concerned, the Morrow cables are better. I can only go off memory, but for me they win with better transparency and resolution. If Palkovich said no big gauge solid core for his speakers then I assume smaller gauge solid core cables like Anti-Cables and Morrow SP 1 and 2 are OK?

After extended listening, I found the Anti Cables sounded somewhat artificial and reduced the soundstage noticeably. No such problem with the Morrows - very musical, and highly recommended!
Hoiwever, as cables are so system dependent, I would suggest you try them both in YOUR system - both companies allow trials and returns.

Foster_9,

Thanks for the post. I am so far stumped trying to find 9 gauge, simple, stranded, copper speaker wire. I've seen 10 gauge, such as Vampire Wire. If anybody knows of 9 gauge speaker wire, I'd love to know!

I am using all Ayre electronics with long balanced interconnects and very short speaker cables that are not twisted. The sound is coming from Vandersteen 5A's...very wide and deep...at least as good as any other cables I've tried. I am using Accrolink/Furutech and Accrolink/Oyeida power cords ....I am very happy. I noticed when the Anti-Cables were new, they were not as good as after a long break in period...other than that, I have no complaints.

Rebbi,

Are either Morrow or Speltz even close to 9 gauge? I am having a bit of trouble tracking with this thread. It sounds like the Merlin rep is recommending dryer pigtails!?! Check out Blue Jeans Cable...
