Innocent question: are the Anti Cables directional, I.e., do they come with arrows indicating direction of signal?
Has anybody tried using single solid core cables?
At a recent hi-fi show an exhibitor auditioning $47K speakers repeatedly asserted the following: "Any solid core wire, even $0.03 a foot is better than any multi-strand available. Experiment for yourselves, you will be amazed."
My question before I ditch my multi-stranded Audioquest Indigo cables in favor of 4 individual single solid core 18 gauge cobber cables from Home Depot for my newly acquired SA Mantra 50s, has anyone tried using single solid core wires?

I have been through the speaker wire journey and settled on DNM Stereo Precision speaker cables. DNM has used solid core copper in their designs since the beginning about 25+ years. If your amp uses feedback look into the HFTN add on and I'm pretty sure you will be very happy. Do a searh they are worth looking into. Good luck, R |
Hey everyone, Thought I would chime in since I just did this upgrade. From my experience, I can agree with the blanket statement quoted in the OP's posting. But that's just my experience, so far, FWIW. My system is rigged with 100% Anti-Cables for Speakers, ICs and Power Cords. Since I have WAF considerations, my speaker cable lengths are absurd: 33ft and 40ft (I know, that's like an audiophile horror movie). With those lengths, I can submit that in my very revealing system, supremely pure solid core copper wires definitely trump stranded cables of similar size and length. I had been running the original anti-Cable Speaker Cables for many years and they sounded so sweet. But I just installed Paul's Level 3 cables, which are now directional, higher purity and beautifully woven. The difference, ROOTB (right out of the box), is not at all subtle. What the level 3 cables have shown me already, is that especially for long runs, going to 9 gauge of solid core is definitely an upgrade that's easy to justify. Paul just came out with solid silver phono cables, which I heard at a friend's place... Nice! Side note: I'm trying to get some forum traction for this acronym ROOTB since I write it often. If you do as well, please pass it on. |
