---------------------- Here are AntiCable testimonials number 21-30 -----------------------

No.21) An Affordable Experiment:

"Paul, There's no way a bi-wired set of your two-foot long copper wires were going to better my much pricier 18 inch AudioQuest Midnight/Argent biwire set. But, heck, I can afford a $40 experiment. My Dunlavy IV's have never sounded so good. Better in every way. Quieter, better lows, which really surprised me, more depth--you name it."

Rod Riese, MN

-

No.22) Pleased in Pennsylvania:

"Hello Paul: You have a great product here!. Clear, transparent, with smooth highs and excellent bass! The sound is natural, with many layers, as I've never heard before. Regards,"

Jose Cigno, PA

No.23) A Dublin Delight:

"The search is over!!! Thank you Paul for these exquisite cables!!!"

"After only one day of listening I was simply astounded at the change that ANTICABLEs brought to my system... I won't even try to go into detail of the improvement, because, quite likely, I wouldn't stop for hours. It just seems that all the aural beauty and goodness was released out of my speakers."

"My brand new PS Audio BiWire XStream Statements are already auctioned on Ebay, they will easily go for £400 - £500 in Europe. I ordered Statements just before coming across ANTICABLEs, they arrived with delay (unlike ANTICABLEs) and they were back in their original box ready to be auctioned just 1 hour after they originally left it, needless to say - unlike ANTICABLEs... You can expect a good few orders from my audiophile friends too, ANTICABLEs are the product not to be missed in these days of cable witchcraft. All the best from Ireland. Sincerely,"

Marin Fulgosi, Ireland

-and more-

"Hi Paul, I would like to make another order - 7' and 5' sets with spades."

"Once again - thank you for the most significant improvement on my system... Sincerely,"

Marin Fulgosi, Dublin Ireland

No.24) Michigan's Dragon Slayer:

"I can't get over the difference between your Anti-Cables vs. the Audioquest Dragon 2 speaker cable. With the Dragons the whole system sounded slow and bloated like an old prize fighter. Now it sounds crisp, detailed but not bright. Even my son could hear the difference."

"I could actually turn down the gain with your Anti-Cables in the circuit. My system just seemed to play louder or maybe it was just as clear at a lower volume."

"When I went back to using the Audioquest Dragon 2, that retail for $3000, a bit of air around the voices and instruments has disappeared. The soundstage is not quite as deep. I am also getting some annoying "overtones" of sound which wasn't there with the Anti-Cables. I now can hear the Dragon has a lot of sibilance distortion, which is not pleasing to the ear. With the Anti-Cables, the bass seems to be tighter and everything seemed to be perfect."

Tom Kearney, MI

Tom has now sold his AQ Dragon 2 cables to a buyer in Japan for $850. Good going Tom!

-

No.25) Sounds More Like Music:

"I replaced my Harmonic Technology 9 AWG Bi-wire Single Crystal Copper Speaker Cable. Quite frankly, the difference with your Anti-Cables was considerable, in particular with reproduction of space and sound stage. I was never aware of the speaker cable's characteristic influence until the Anti-Cable removed it. This may sound “weird” but now it sounds more like music. I always heard detail with soundstage but nothing like this. I just hope this can encourage other listeners who may think this a tweak and consider your Anti-Cables equally important when considering and buying high end components. Thank You"

Nicholas Palmese, AR

No.26) Multi-Thousand Dollar cables, now for sale on AudioGon:

"Just got the cables, can't believe my ears. Without "broken in" they sounded awesome. Very nature as it described. Now I need to put my muti-thousands spker cables for sale at the 'goner(LOL)."

"Great to deal business with you, and will continue to recommend them to my customers."

Steve Chang
Chang Audio Network, CO

No.27) Very Good Product, Very Good Price, Great Service:

"I just wanted to let you know that I received the "ANTI-"cables yesterday! Wow, that was fast and your e-mail service was great too!"

"After a couple hours of listening yesterday evening, I came away thoroughly impressed with the changes that occurred with my system by using your speaker cables. These cables are everything that I read about on your website! Congratulations on a very good product at a very good price."

"And thanks for the great service!"

Tom Ingram, Canada

-

No.28) High W.A.F. in Canada

"Thanks for the great service!"

"I received the cables and Wow! I have a huge collection of speaker cables and interconnects, my wife thinks I'm crazy, but I'm glad I kept searching because these cables sound better than anything I have ever heard in my system. It finally sounds how I expected it to sound all along."

"The really telling sign was when my wife walked into the listening room just after I installed the Anti-Cables and said "What did you do? It sound so much better" she has never really commented on any change before. I did several A-B-A-B swaps and she could tell every time when I had taken the anti-cables out of the system."

Grant Berreth, Canada

-

No.29) Sound Basis in Canada:

"Thanks for your prompt shipping of the interconnects and cables. I received them this morning and I must confess that not much other than listening got accomplished today. 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 new cables are far superior. I recently changed my electronics. 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!"

"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. And if I were to sum-up my overall impression of my system at this time I would simply say that "anti-cables" and "anti-IC's" in not much of a stretch - if is one at all!
Thanks"

Gille Mongeau, Canada

No.30) Clearly Noticeable in Israel:

"I got my 3' cables and put them in my system instead of very good and dear (1000$) 5' run of VdH The Revelation. Ok, tonal balance didn't change but all was just cleaner and less smeared. Difference wasn't huge but clearly noticeable. Not bad for 30$! The Revelations are for sale now. Thanks for excellent product."

Michael "mmhifi", Israel

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
