ANTICABLES Level 6.2 "ABSOLUTE Signature" Digital interconnect

No. 4) Certainly Very Worthwhile… and Enjoyable!

“Thank you for the prompt build and shipment of the digital IC cable I received late last week. By virtue of a weekend of listening to a limited number of redbook CD’s, I am able to relay my initial impressions to you and give a sense of the level of satisfaction with the supplied version.”

“Installed per instructions, the cable is positioned in a vertical arch, oriented away from the particular element I had the most concern about, a HTPC. As a result of being able to get it further away than originally anticipated, I can say that I am not presently experiencing any significant problems due to RFI, Whether this will change due to further system alterations, I obviously can’t say just yet, but there was certainly no need to try a variety of cable locations to mitigate a potentially intrusive problem. A good start.”

“At this juncture, my CD player and DAC are perhaps best described as being slightly above average in performance, but there has been no particular effort to employ mods that address galvanic isolation, re-clocking, or overall jitter reduction by dedicated means. Thus, the simple and passive approach offered by the 1.5m cable length and unique dielectric/shielding configuration was quite appealing, and I thank you for making it available.”

“I listened to a test compilation of selections I use for general systems evaluation, a recording of a local bluegrass group that I have heard live repeatedly, as well as Sinatra’s Ring-a-ding-ding CD. After going through the lot several times, I was pleased with how two things in particular seemed to have improved. The first was when harmonizing voices (with genetic linkage among them) seemed to coalesce together without “wander”. This characteristic also seemed to manifest itself in the soundstage fabric of my favorite selections being “pulled a little tighter” in all directions.”

“I’m all for the quantitative changes I’ve noted thus far, and am also happy with the delicate nature now being manifested in the spaces between instruments, voices and their environment. I want to hear the studio, the band shell and vocal nuances as best I can. And I think the latest change to the digital transmission medium helps toward that end and was certainly very worthwhile…. and enjoyable!”

“Please keep me posted on anything else you’ve been working on that might help augment an additional upcoming order. The next one will probably get me started on converting multiple speaker transmission cables to the Anti’s. Thank you and regards,”
