Trounced Tara Labs and Beat Nordost:

Ok, I got the cables today and am already a complete convert! They replaced a pair of Tara Labs, which they trounced in just about every area - bass, mid clarity, highs, body. I also just sold a pair of Nordost Blue Heaven, and I feel they also pretty soundly beat them as well. They have the mid clarity that the Nordost provided, but added some serous body/weight and control to the proceedings. Simply amazing!

There are a few items in audio that I feel are true sonic bargains - the Ack dAck, the Shelter 501, the Bent Audio Noh. These certainly have been added to the list.

All I can say is, if you are planning on spending anywhere from $100 to $10,000 for speaker cables you owe it to yourself to at least try these. At $70 for my 5-foot pair with bananas I can't even consider them just a serious bargain, they are practically a freebie!
Thanks Paul!

Killed AudioQuest CV-6 cables:

First of all I would like to say thanks for providing such a wonderful sounding product as such a low price. These cables within 5 minutes managed to kill my AudioQuest CV-6 cables (now being sold on eBay) on my set of Magnepan MG12s. I am still surprised at how much sound I was missing with my AudioQuest cables. My MG12s sound like full range speakers now with a lot more low end and completely open highs. I am hearing new sounds in songs and enjoying just how complex some of the music is. Thanks for a great product and fast delivery time.

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

No Way Any Cable at Any Price Can Sound Better:

Paul! I have B&W 604 speakers and I cannot begin to tell you how much better they sound since I sold my Kimber 8TC on AudioGon for what I paid for your cables. They are a rare bargain. I cannot believe some of the audiophiles who spend upwards of $1000.00 plus on speaker cable. It's lunacy. There is no way any speaker cable at any price sounds better than your Anti-Cables.

I will be ordering MORE Anti-Cables for my B&W center channel that is Bi-wireable.
Thanks again,

Females Hear Better:

Hi, Paul, Thank you for calling me back and processing my order. Your Anti-cables are amazing!
They are hooked up to my Audio Research tube amp, and make my beautiful Dalis sing! Although yet to be completely broken-in, I can already hear its enormous potential for providing great sound. They are very transparent, articulate, open, liquid in mids and tight in the bass.

After they are completely broken-in, I will decide what other cables I will need and recontact you. And, I will tell all my friends about your cables, and allow them to try it on their own systems. Keep up the great work! Sincerely,

Kathy Lee, CA

Midrange Integrity:

Paul, Received the cable. This is certainly a very interesting and exciting product. The sound of twisted pair is much better to my system, using an extremely high efficient horn speaker (103db) with low powered amplification. I especially like the integrity of mid-range. Thanks,

Brought Tears To My Eyes:

I just received these cables today, and I can't get over how much my system has improved! I actually had tears come to my eyes during one song, it moved me so much! That has NEVER happened! I have been trying to get the sound that I heard from a $45,000 system, and I have finally arrived! Most excellent cables! Thanks so much! "I'm blown away!"

Big Step Up from Cardas:

The Anti-Cable speaker cables were a big step up from my Cardas SE-15's. 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. 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

Not Thick and Sexy, But No Comparison:

I bought four other pairs of speaker "cable" so that I could determine which one was the best. I really didn't want the Anti-cables to win - they're clangy and cumbersome and not thick and sexy with impressive gold connectors like the real speaker cables. Well, if I bought speaker cable for the way they look, the Anti-Cable would have been in last place in my book but if you are after cable for the way they sound (or don't sound), there is absolutely no comparison. How could I go back to the grunge of the other cables once I heard the clarity and imaging of the Anti-Cables?

The pinpoint imaging, both side to side and front to back is uncanny. You can tell when the musicians move slightly. Good top end and solid tight bottom end with the best middle you could hope for. Clangy and cumbersome? Yeah, but once you get them where you want them, you can have the assurance that you have the best speaker cables, I mean "wire," anywhere near their price. These are so incredible, I will have to try the interconnect cables to see if they make just as big a difference.

The Absolute Sound did in Issue #162:

Hello, I've been listening for a few days and the speaker cables are great........... You were not kidding............ hopefully one of the big magazines will take a listen and review. Keep up the good work.
Thanks,

The Absolute Sound Saved Me $500:

Paul - These things are FANTASTIC. It?s like someone windexed my speakers. They are good all over, but particularly in resolving low volume bass, quiet plucked bass in small jazz groups and such. They've also got much finer definition on large orchestral works with much better individual instrument separation. I'm not going to write a big review, but I am very impressed.

The timing was excellent too. I was about to drop $500 bucks for someone else's cables when I read the sidebar in TAS. You're going to have more business than you know what to do with.
Thanks again!
