The Best:

Hello Paul & Judy, You guys are the best. Thanks for the Anti-ICs. I am enjoying them now. The combination of the Anti-Cables and the Anti-ICs is GREAT!
Thanks again.

Bryan Anderson, IL

 

Bodyguards Recommended:

Paul, I hope you are fortifying your home, armoring your car & hiring bodyguards. Once those ridiculously overpriced ic companies hear your anti ic's they are going to come calling. Please don't ever become like them. Us regular guys need more people like you in our corner.

I have a box of various brands & designs. They all sound constipated except one when compared to yours. That one retailed for over a $1000. Your anti-ICs made the blue flat things sound exactly that, flat!

They had only been in for an hour. I listened for a while but not seriously. I came back yesterday to check how they were doing & ended up late for work. I kept telling myself "just one more song" several times over & over. Anyway long story, short they are the most incredible ic's I've ever experienced. I could go on but I'm sure you have heard it all before. Thank you for helping a relatively inexpensive system sound really extraordinary. Thanks for the happier listening.

Clean Clear & Monstrous Bass:

Hi Paul, just dropping you a line to let you know your anti-IC is just brilliant, by far the cleanest and clearest cable i've ever heard that delivers monstrous bass...with every other cable i've auditioned there is some sort of trade-off.

The Eichmann Bullet plugs are just killer too...I put them on my turntable and now my entire analog capture chain from turntable to soundcard is with the bullet plugs and my cd's sound simply amazing.

Please give me a heads up before you begin to charge $500 per meter for these - I need one more set soon!

Matt Cecil, Chicago IL

 

In Heaven:

Hi Paul , just like to let you know I received the anti-cables & anti-ic's today. oh man now that's an improvement! I'm in heaven.
Thank you,

Simply Amazing:

Hi Paul and Judy, Just got the 15' XLR IC and they sound excellent right out of the box. Simply amazing. I'm placing my order again for a 1M pair RCA IC.
Thanks,

Steve Der Chang, CO

 

Phenomenal over Coincident Cables:

Hello Judy & Paul, You guys are the best! Just received my Anti-ICs with the Eichmann bullets and the Anti Cables. Your service is the best; your timing in delivering both on the same day is exceptional.

They sound phenomenal especially when compared to the Coincident cables I had to listen to in the mean time. Work on a power cord, I would buy it in a minute. I will be your beta tester if you need one.
Thanks,

Bryan Anderson, IL

 

Living Breathing Music:

Hi Paul and Judy, Received the speaker cables and balanced interconnects nearly 2 months ago but didn't put them in my system until a month later. I think you are wrong with your burn in time for the cables, in my opinion they are no different than any other cables and therefore require the standard 3 weeks with music constantly played through them. All I can say is these cables are worth the wait. I am now listening to living breathing music and nothing else is getting done! Thanks and very well done.
Kind regards,

John Norton, England

 

Another Superior Product:

I was really impressed with the interconnects performance in my system. I noticed your Audiogon ad for the interconnect cables and I agree with the comments that others had. They are very open, detailed and revealing, without being bright. They are a perfect match to the anti-cables I am using on my speakers. You have another superior product.

John Jansky, MN

 

Blasted Audience Au24 interconnects:

Hey Paul Thanks for the cables, i let my friend take the interconnects home to watch king kong and it was not 30 minutes latter and he called me talking crazy, hey Bill i just found my next Ic's. I said ya right! Dave you have not had them a day yet! ok ok i will be over tomorrow cool out.

The next day i went for a listen, i said this is the best system yet in his house. ok dave i said take off the anti-ICs so i can hear the AU24 to see what?s going on here. Man! i could not believe it, from the mid to upper-mid to the top end the system died out like someone pull off the wires to the midrange and tweeters. i said to myself what the heck happen! it blasted the AU24's interconnect cables between the cd player and preamp. i told dave, give me back my cable so i can review them and go buy your own.
Thanks,

Bill Glenn, CA

 

Soundly Beat My Top-End Cables:

Hello Paul, I was very glad to see the positive words for your cables in TAS, congratulations!
You and I spoke several months ago while I was purchasing a pair of Anti-IC's with Bullet Plugs. They are superb, by the way. They have soundly beat out my top-end cables from a very [very!] respected company. I intend to order another pair this weekend and will then let you know how a complete set sounds. Thanks for your help, and congrats again on the TAS notice,

Mike Agee, MA

 

Easily Surpassed the Cardas Cross Interconnects:

I broke the Anti-ICs in for two days. On the third day they easily surpassed the Cardas Cross interconnects ($359 per 1/2 meter). The Anti-IC's had a natural presentation that sounded truer to life. I am going to buy another pair as soon as I get my Cardas cables sold.

I think it's great that I can take a big step up in sound quality, sell my old cables and still have money in my pocket. The next pair of Anti-ICs will replace my Homegrown Audio Super Silver IC's. I was very skeptical when I first read about Anti-Cables but I'm skeptical no more. Thank you for a stellar product that put cable upgrades in my reach.
Sincerely,

Neil Crowley

 

Hit the Jackpot:

This is Bon, your ic is worth IT, it works.
OBVIOUSLY PAUL YOU HIT A JACKPOT ON THIS CABLE.THANKS

A No Brain'er in Shanghai China:

Got the anti-cables and anti-IC today. I tried the anti Anti-IC from the source to the pre. A brief listening session already confirmed I have to recommend this to my friends. It blown away the Kimber Select low end model effortless. More importantly, it is close to another pair of Sweden Silver interconnect that costs more than USD$5000.

I cant stop replacing my speaker cables with Anticables, again it didn't disappoint me at all, especially with this price tag. Finally, I install another pair of Anti-IC from pre to power. What I would recommend is Anti series should be used for the whole signal path, if possible. The synergy is very obvious.

In fact the whole set of Anti ICs and Anticables is ordered for my friend's new system with relatively limited budget. The half day listening experience is very pleasant, musical and involving. The "business case" to own a whole set of such a high standard cables is a no brain'er. And I think I have to order another set for my friend later.
Thanks,

Wilson Man, Shanghai China

 

Clearly Better Than Clearview:

The Anti-ICs is clearly better (and easier to manage!) then my previous Clearview(Mapleshade) Excalibur Ribbons Plus for my system. I like the sound and I trust my own ears. Bravo Paul for your Anti(s).

H.M. Laksmana, Indonesia

 

Phenomenal:

I received your Anti-IC today. After 3 hours I can say, simply outstanding! Piano is phenomenal, as well as everything else.
Thanks!!!

Ed Cook, OH

 

A Lot better than Kimber, YBA, AQ, and MIT:

I placed an order yesterday for two more sets of Anti-ICs and Anti-Cables. I still shake my head and chuckle that these cables outperform all my others, which I now sold by the way to finance this and an Ernies power cable upgrade with a few hundred bucks to spare! Finally an upgrade that saved me money! The interconnects I had before were: Kimber KCTG and Hero, YBA Diamond,Audioquest Jaguar and MIT Terminator II. The speaker cables replaced Kimber 8TC. These cables weren't just a little better either. They were a lot better! . ET - happy customer

In Love:

I love the balanced ICs you made for me.
Thanks!

Enthusiastic Praise from Canada:

Paul, Thanks for your prompt shipping of the Anti-IC interconnects and Anti-Cables. I received them this morning and I must confess that not much other than listening got accomplished today.
I have to be careful the way I express my impressions since the last interconnects I tried date back to a couple of weeks ago - but this I can say with certainty: they were 8 or 9 times the price of the Anti-IC's and there is nothing I can remember with any certainty that they did better than the Anti-IC's.
As for the speaker cables, I can only compare them to my previous cables (which were several times the price) and there is no question that the anti-cables are far superior.

I recently changed my electronics for a complete suite of Classé's Delta series. As delighted as I was with the results there was still an edginess and occasionally glare in the upper mid-range at relatively high volume which, in the end, I ascribed to solid state electronic or perhaps to my Thiel speakers... Not anymore! Not all is gone because I still have two pairs of my previous interconnects in the loop, and I fully expect that this will take care of the little that is left of the problem.

You have received some very enthusiastic praise for your cables from many peoples and I can now see for myself that there is a sound basis for it. If you factor in the price, then there is no doubt in my mind that one would be very hard pressed to find better value for money.
Thanks,

Gilles Mongeau, Canada

 

Bass is Deep and Very, Very Clean:

Thanks for the new Anti-IC cables. Basically, I found them to be more transparent, less muddy; of course this is a relative thing, the others sounded excellent on their own! The new cables just seem to have less coloration. It's as though the sound is yet cleaned up even more, and yet it is not bright or harsh sounding. Guitar strings are just that much more distinct, and the percussive nature is more present (I play guitar, so I'm more sensitive to these distinctions). Bass is deep and very, very clean; it's amazing to me what a difference one set of thin wires can make on the bass response, cleaning and tightening it up! All the best, Paul!

Beat Cardas Golden Reference & Transparent Ultra Cables:

Paul, Thanks for sending the interconnects so promptly. I compared your interconnect to my Cardas Golden Reference balanced cables first. My wife and a stereo friend also listened. It wasn't close. We all agreed that your cables provided more definition in the bass, more dynamics, and better midrange clarity. We then went on to compare your cables with my Transparent Ultra cables. This was a close call with your interconnects being only slightly more dynamic and lifelike. Do you know anyone who wants Cardas and Transparent cables? Thanks again,

John Girod, OR

 

Wedding Bells:

Dear Paul: I finally hooked up the package you sent me. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next to marrying my wife, the best thing I did was to purchase your products (Anti-Cables and Anti-ICs). Please express my thanks to Judy as well.

Happy Repeat Customer:

The Anti-IC's came this week, much sooner than the anticipated. Initial impression was that I wasn't as initially impressed as I was by the Anti-Cable (maybe I was expecting too much). The sound was flat, and low frequencies were rolled off with no punch. However, after 3-4 days of burn-in, the Anti-IC?s have become very neutral, with more high and low end extension. Dynamics are handled very naturally, and the detail is great. I'm keeping em!

Another great product to a happy repeat customer. BTW, the Anti-IC's are very cool looking.
Thanks,

Jeff Aragaki, CA

 

Best Interconnects in Australia:

Hi Paul. Thanks for the cables which I received two days ago. They sound great and I am more than happy with my purchase. In the not too distant future I would like to order a couple more anti-ICs at longer lengths.These are the best interconnects I have ever owned.
Thanks again & Kind Regards,

Tim Vandenbosch, Australia

 

Quick, Open , and Punchy:

I just wanted to let you know that the anti-IC's arrived today. Thanks for such prompt shipping and of course making them so quickly as well. I got them installed and the neutrik connectors fit nice and tight.

I was immediately impressed with the detail (not brightness) and the dimensionality. My other IC's sounded very dark by comparison. These seem to be very quick with an open sound with plenty of punch. Thus far I am very impressed. Thanks for another fine product!!

Tom Kearney, MI

...and there's more..

Paul,
It looks like I will need one more pair of the anti-IC's for my phono stage. I esp. like the fact that the anti-ic's have negligible rfi and emi which as you know is very important for a phono stage. The anti-IC's seem to do a great job of transferring the minute signal from the cartridge to the phono pre.

I think that a 1.5m length should be just about right for this pair. I wish I had known how good these things were and you could have made all three pairs at once. It would have saved both of us some time and postage costs. Thanks,

Tom Kearney, MI
