---------------------- Here are AntiCable testimonials number 201-210 ---------------------

No. 201) Used as Jumpers for Bi-Wire’able speakers:

Paul's Anti-Jumpers are the best high-end bargain. Cheap and shipped promptly. This is my second pair. Why do I loan them out, they never come back?

No. 202) Tridimensional in Italy:

Now the sound is open, high frequencies are clear, the mid-low frequencies are fast and I have more tridimensional scene! Sorry for my bad English.

Giulio Di Santo, Italy

No. 203) Unreal compared to Kimber, Monster, Tara, Mapleshade, and many others:

Paul, I have been using a pair of anti-cables, borrowed from a buddy for the last week and all I can say is unreal.

The sound has opened up in my maggies, the stage has grown, the depth and detail of sound is amazing. Kimber, Monster, Tara, Mapleshade, and many other cables I have used in my system have never made such a dramatic improvement and some have cost as much as 5 times what your cables sell for.

Well done. I can't see a reason to run anything but anti-cables. Regards,

Jason Plocek, IN

No. 204) Every Aspect Improved Over Tara Labs:

Paul, As you know, your product and service could not be better. I purchased an 8' pair of your speaker cables to replace my Tara Labs Prism Omni III. I have them between an Emotiva amp and Klipsch RF7 speakers. Every aspect of the audio experience has been improved upon by a large margin, soundstage, images, tonal balance, frequency response on and on. I thank you very much.

No. 205) Very, very Impressed in Bulgaria:

Paul, Just want to let you know that I am extremely happy with your cables. They sound great in my second system and replaced cables costing over $1000. I am very, very impressed and I will order another set for my main system later today. Thank you for the amazing product. Best regards,

Orlin Draganov, Bulgaria

No. 206) Satisfied in Italy:

Hi Paul & Judy, The anti cables arrived one week ago, I’m listening to the music and I’m very satisfied, the bass are more detailed and quick. I sold my MIT. Many thanks for all. Best Regards,

Mauro Brambilla, Italy

No. 207) Swedish Cat Call:

Paul, What can I say that hasn't been said...Just as you promised. Sounds glorious!!! Bass is unbelievable in clarity and presence without being annoying. Highs are crystal clear, detailed, dynamic and liquid. Very musical, very accurate. After a week warming up the tubes, I couldn’t resist cranking the ole c22 and mc275 up a bit. Damn !!!! I had the neighbors cat looking over the fence to see what all the commotion was about. There I sit listening to the cut "Song of the Stars" from Dead Can Dance's Spiritchaser (Warner Bros.) gazing into the darkness of my unlit room and wondering just how the bird songs and chants happened to get in there. Really!! By this time the cat was climbing trees trying to get a closer look. I am very curious to see what your ic anti-cables can do because if this is just foreplay then we’re talking about one dead cat.

John Johnson, Sweden

No. 208) More Dynamic then Very Expensive Audience Cables:

Hi Paul, I would like to order 1 set of balanced ic's. I hate to admit it, but your speaker cable out performed my very expensive au24 "e" cable. Very rich, bold with lots of detail but never bright and incredibly clear. Wonderful for jazz and classical. I actually don't have to turn the volume up as high on my amp to get better dynamics, like I do with the au 24's.

Drew Turner, Canada

No. 209) Surpassed all my Expectations:

Sir, After selling my Cardas Golden Reference ($2k/pair) to fund my new passion, I was stuck without speaker cables. With limited funds, I looked for the cheapest cables I could find that at least won't be too out of place.

I have a fairly expensive most tube system comprising of:

Marantz SA-11S1 CD/SACD
Conrad Johnson Premier 17LS
Conrad Johnson MV60SE
Merlin Music System TSM Mme
Nordost Red Dawn IC's

When I saw your add in Audiogon, I just thought for $80/8ft pair, 'why not?'. Well after about a week with them, I can tell you that until I can muster mega bucks for the GR, these are staying in. While not as coherent and that Oh my God lush midrange of the GR, these (at 1/20th the price), are not out of it's league. Everything that I want is there, albeit in a smaller scale. Did I mention that I paid $80 a pair??? I was afraid that nothing that I could afford now would make me want to listen to music: I do now.

My previous cables with the same system were from Straightwire and Acoustic Zen. I can say without a doubt that your cables are far superior than these.

In closing, thank you for making such a wonderful product for almost pennies. Your product has truly surpassed all my expectations…and then sum. Aloha and Mahalo,

Jason Saikim, HI

No. 210) I Just Sat There Staggered:

Judy and Paul - I can only say thank you both, for your patience, your service and, most of all your wonderful little speaker cables. I do not know if I replicate the improvement in my system using someone else's wires; but do know that I'd have to spend a lot more to do so.

They opened up yesterday and I just sat there staggered. btw - my wife said " they're so thin and unobtrusive.... I can live with them”. Thanks!

The Anti-Cables have now been awarded The Absolute Sound's Editors Choice Award five years in a row (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, & 2010), which means they are considered to be "the best of the best". This is quite amazing, considering they cost 1/100 as much as others on the list.

...and the best awards of all:

The Absolute Sound's Top 200 Audio Products 2010 and 2011 (issue 197 & 207)

The Absolute Sound's Top 200 Audio Products for 2011 lists the Anti-Cables along with only 9 other speaker cables which are priced as amazing as $24,900.

Printed below is the original TAS review:

Paul Speltz’s “anti-cable” speaker cables are a godsend to those of us who want good sound but are repulsed by the astronomically high prices some cable manufacturers are asking for their goods. I know cable manufacturers need to make a living, and I have no problem with that, but there’s a limit to what I can conceive of spending on a hunk of wire. (And yes, I know how essential that hunk of wire can be to the sonic integrity of one’s system, but when all is said and done, it’s still a hunk of wire.) Thus the name “anti-cables.” This stuff goes against everything most high-end speaker cables are typical known for—like ridiculously high prices, haute couture designer jackets, and compromised sonics.

At this point, I’ve only had a few weeks to audition them, so it’s possible that extended listening could reveal a shortcoming or two. But so far, I have to say I’m blown away by the neutrality and lack of coloration I’m hearing and by the absence of any apparent downside. The high frequencies are open and clear with no tizziness; the midrange has exceptional clarity, transparency, and detail; and the bass is extended, with remarkable articulation. Miraculously, the cost is only $80 for an 8 foot pair with spades.

If you visit Paul Speltz’s anti-cable Web site you can read the story behind these cables along with technical info and testimonials up the ying-yang. In a nutshell, the anti-cables are constructed of 12-gauge solid-core copper wire with a very thin red coating or dielectric. According to Speltz, it’s the minimal dielectric that accounts for the amazing clarity and virtual lack of sonic signature. These cables are a bit stiff, but still easy to work with. They do require shaping to keep off the carpeting and away from other components and cables, but I’d say the bending and shaping, at most, might take an extra few minutes per cable. SK
