No. 241) Very Natural with Better Bass:

Dear Paul and Judy, I have cut my jumpers for my Magnepan 3.6s and have run the wire from my amp. It is the 1st time in years I have been inclined to pull out the solid silver cables from Bogdan. I am certain the bass is fuller and tighter, and these haven't fully burned in yet. The mids are everything I'd hoped for with no tizzyness on the top end. I will be glad to try the interconnects as soon as I am sure how the final sound of these will play out.

Thanks for a great product. I will be leaving feedback for you wherever you would like.

This is Richard again. Just wanted to let you know that I adore the speaker wire. Very natural with better bass than the solid silver wires I was previously using. If I can leave positive feedback or review let me know. I have used many cables in the last 12 years, and these are the best cables, not to mention the value. I cannot see why people spend thousands of dollars, especially when it could be used to buy music. By the way, I have a very revealing system. I tend to build my amp and source components around the Magnepan 3.6s.

Thank you again for a marvelous product.

No. 242) A Breath of Fresh Canadian Air:

Hi Paul, While not one who has spent countless hours and money trying out different speaker cables, I can say that your Anti Cables are a breath of fresh air in my system. Everything is there, from the attack on each piano note in classical music to the full plucked sound of the acoustic bass in jazz to the rhythmic drive of rock. The depth and width of the soundstage is fantastic. They became very listenable after a couple of days of playing. I have to smile when I think of the many people who spend mega-bucks on the fire-hose variety of cables out there, knowing that my little red wires are doing the job they are supposed to do… delivering the music to my speakers exactly the way it was recorded, nothing more and nothing less. Truly a great product at any price!

No. 243) Changed the Way I Will Listen to Music:

Hi Paul, Thanks for the Anti Cables! When I heard them at a buddies house I could tell they were something special. Just how special I didn't realize until I hooked them up to my system. I have been into audio and vinyl since the mid 60's and these changed the way I will listen to music. They are Eargasmic! Clean, nuanced, dimensional, and dynamic are the words that initially came to mind. I didn't know my speakers could be so good. I will now have to listen to my entire collection 'cause it's clear I have not really heard my music yet! Thanks again-I look forward to doing more business with you. Sincerely,

Dennis McKinney, MN

No. 244) Very High End Quality:

While waiting for the new receiver to arrive, the old one went to the basement system. Not wanting to be without music upstairs for a few days I brought the now spare receiver up to fill the void. I wanted to hook everything up at once when the new receiver arrived but found myself staring at the crimson roll atop my DVD player and my curiosity got the best of me. I ordered and found the product extremely easy to work with and arrange in my difficult stereo set up. All I can say about the sound quality is wow, and it leaves my wife wondering why we spent so much on a new receiver.

Fantastic product. Very high end quality without the $$$$$ price tag. I will be purchasing more for the rest of my systems.

No. 245) I Simply Was Not Prepared For What I Was About to Hear:

FIRST OFF, MY SYSTEM: Well Tempered Amadeus with Dynavector 17D3, Audio Research PH-7 with latest power supply upgrade, Audio Research LS-27 pre amp (a hair's breath away from the REF 5), Audio Research DS 450 AMP, Magnapan 3.6's

The speakers were bi-wired with 14 gauge speaker wire, gold connectors and silver solder and sealed to prevent oxidation. And as such they system sounded very good. I toyed with springing for some really expensive speaker wire but just as I was about to buy for it, I got hit with a bunch of unexpected expenses. Saw your ad on Audiogon and thought, "what the hell, for this price why not?" At least they'll due until I get the bills paid and I can afford the other wire.

Paul and Judy, I simply was not prepared for what I was about to hear. Bigger and deeper sound stage, huge increase in detail, instruments occupying their own physical dimensions in ways not experienced before. I didn't need an A/B to hear the difference, it wasn't even subtle. Stay clear of places where they sell that other wire, or wear a vest! Thanks!

No. 246) Literally Trounced the Very Best Top Tier Speaker Cables:

Quiet, Natural, Real: The only speaker cables I NEVER heard. Anti-Cables step outta the way and let the music flow, uninhibited. A friend and I have Analog and Digital systems respectively and the Anti-Cables worked their same magic. We've been through some of the very best, top tier speaker cables on the market and the Anti-Cables literally trounced them in everyway, we still can't believe it. Try them in your own system and listen for yourself, they're a steal for the price.

Thanks and keep up the great work Judy and Paul !

No. 247) Didn’t Think it Was Possible:

I received cables yesterday. Played CD and LP with my DIY cables then installed your cables and played same CD and LP again. What a difference your cables made. I wouldn't have thought this was possible just changing wires.

No. 248) The Treble Opened Up and the Bass Tightened Up:

Hi Paul: Thanks for making up the anti-cable order for us so quickly. We have been enjoying the cables for a week now, and I have to say, they really make a difference in the sound. I honestly did not expect to hear any change at all from the 12 gauge speaker cable I had running to the speakers. I was sure wrong. Your anti-cables immediately made a huge difference with our little Magenpan MMGs. The treble opened up and the bass tightened up. A lot. Friends of mine whose opinions I respect told me that putting a good solid core connector in place would make a big difference. They were right too. I’ve not compared anti-cables to high end cables, so I can’t swear they are the best cables out there. But I bet they are in are in the running! Also they have to be the most fun speaker cables ever!

No. 249) My Dealer Apologized:

Paul, I had an Audiophile dealer come in last Saturday to sort out my VTA and tracking and I told him I installed the Anticables. He didn’t even let me finish my sentence when he said “Oh I can tell you that you have gone totally the wrong way” as he tested them out with another client and it was really awful. Then he sat down and heard my system and apologized for his remark saying, “Wow, this sounds unbelievable!” Rgds

No. 250) Dramatic Improvement Over Significantly More Expensive Cables:

Paul, I must admit that in spite of all of the favorable reviews of your cables I was very skeptical. I can’t begin to tell you how impressed I am with them. I replaced some cables that were significantly more expensive with larger total AWG etc. The improvement was not only dramatic but continues to get better as they are broken in. The clarity of the music is significantly improved as is the imaging. I was also very pleased to find that the improvements were not due to an over emphasized top end, yes I measured it. Would I recommend these cables, not only would I recommend them I may buy some for some friends, they really need to hear this!

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
