No. 181) Very Impressed in New Zealand:

Hi Paul, Just tried out your speaker cables at Living Sight & Sound way down here in Timaru, New Zealand and was VERY impressed with the results! I brought in my Arcam Delta 290 integrated and 290P power amp running off a Rotel RDC 955 cd player (Monster 350 inter-connects) and through B&W DM 501 speakers.

Tried my set up with ordinary speaker cables first with banana plugs to the amp and bare cable to posts at the speaker end. It all sounded not too bad in store but was 'missing' something. Then hooked up your anti cables and there was such a difference in bass punch, vocals and higher tones.

Warren, (one of the owners) suggested hooking the set up through some Mirage Omni 350 floor standers they had on display with your same cables and 'wow' what a fantastic sound and speakers large enough to do my system justice (have been wanting to upgrade the book shelf B&W's for some time). We tried (cd and vinyl) acoustic, vocal, reggae, electronic and some early rock & roll and it all sounded just fine!! So good I've ordered the cable and thinking of the speakers too!

Thanks very much for your time and for make a such a great product available!!! Kind regards,

Rob Crawford, New Zealand

No. 182) Recommended by Lovington Horn Loudspeaker Company in UK:

Dear Paul & Judy, I recently, with my friend John Howes, of Southborough, Kent purchased some Anti from you.
I must say what a revelation! I am very impressed, and so where many of our customers at the Heathrow Hi Fi Show last weekend.

I was demonstrating our Lovington Horn SH1 loudspeaker, and so impressed where we with the speaker cable, and the Anti-ICs, we have decided to make Anti our speaker cable recommendation. In fact we intend to offer all our customers a free set of Anti speaker cable with each pair of SH1 horns. No other cable will do. So you have a firm recommendation from us and I hope some increased sales for both you and Lovington. Please check out our website www.lovingtonhorn.co.uk

Very Best Wishes,

Mike Blackmore, Lovington Horn Loudspeakers and New Ash Green Hi-Fi Club (NAGFI), UK

No. 183) Blew Huge XLO's out the Window in the Philippines:

Congratulations! A client lent his Anticables to a fellow audiophile. The results: Mr. X had bi-wired Diamond B&W Signatures (top of the line of B&W as of now). Was using the most expensive gigantic XLO cables on them but when he went to hear the system of another 'phile, he heard some notes and noticed a big change. First he wired up with full Speltz. He felt that he lacked Bass. So he went with XLO for the bass and Speltz for the mid-hi's. He hasn't come out of his house for a week. He is hearing music that he could not with the XLO's, and is ecstatic. Thing is, the guy who lent him the cables now lost his extra pair of 8 foot anticables. HAHA! I will remedy the situation. Just wanted to let you know what was going on in Manila. And I hope the story boosts you and Judy's morale. You just blew those huge XLO's out the window. And then Anticables quietly floated into his system. Everybody happy. Best,

Gerry Kaimo, Philippines

No. 184) Another Canadian Believer:

Hello Paul. I'm a neighbor from the north, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I recently acquired a pair of the Anti-cables from Canuck Audio Mart (CAM), our equivalent of Audiogon in the USA. I must admit that I had not heard of your product and was always searching for that "nirvana" cable which would make such a difference in my system and ultimately in listening pleasure. I saw the add for your cables on CAM and after reading some testimonials and researching reviews decided to purchase them. I figured that at the price for a used pair, what could I lose?

Well I'm listening to music as I write this and honestly, I can't believe the difference. These sound better than anything I have had in my system; detail, balance, neutrality, tight bass, decay of cymbals ( I could go on and on). I feel like I'm in a concert with Keb Mo! I must admit that I was skeptical (after many other disappointments), but the listening test has made me a believer. Now you have me wondering about ICs and digital connects.

Thanks for making a fantastic speaker cable at a bargain price! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. 185) The Winner:

I must admit that I was ready to send your cables back before I received them. I took the 8ft pair out of the box and hooked them to my DNA 1 driven by my Magnun Dynalab, to break them in. Fired them up and stood back. Dang, they blew away my $300 monster cables right out of the box!!!

I was sitting outside on the porch for 2 hours, when suddenly, I noticed how good the system was sounding from OUTSIDE.

Well, I had to go in and hook up my other $1300 Monster cables so I could send these cables back. I'm sure that my "good" cables are better. I hooked the better monsters up and I was stunned. I could use all the buzz words; air, bass, smear, bla,bla but it went from a big stereo back to a boom box with the monster cables. Looks like the Anti-Cables are not going back and I will be ordering some Anti-IC's. Your a winner!!

No. 186) Delighted in Sydney:

Hi from Sydney, I'd just like to say how delighted I am with the anti cables and interconnects. They arrived yesterday and I expected at least a few days break in before I could compare them to my previous cables ( JPS And Audio Note ) but immediately they just sounded so much better. They have a rightness of tone and a coherence which is captivating. I can't stop listening to my music collection. My only regret is that they weren't around years ago - it might have saved me a lot of money !!. Cheers and congratulations on a great product.

P.S I noticed in your literature that they improve with use. Surely they can't get any better can they ?. For the money it's just phenomenal.

No. 187) Easily Surpassed Cables Costing 100 times more:

Cables are what the reviews have described. Fast, articulate, transparent! What a deal! Easily surpass many cables that I have tried that cost 100 times more.

No. 188) Real and Profound:

Judy and Paul, I replaced mid grade speaker cables with yours on my all-Acoustat system about 50-60 hours ago. My Spectra 33's have absolutely never sounded better! I didn't notice any dramatic improvement right away, but one day I realized: hey - something's different. The Acoustats were never bass shy (gut-thumping in fact), but now the bass has a clarity that is both "round" and razor sharp at the same time. Harmonics of cymbals ring much more clearly and naturally, but on guitar, harmonics reach through the entire overtone series effortlessly. AntiCables really accentuate the fast transient response of the MOSFET amp/electrostatic combination.

In short, the differences with AntiCables are real and profound. There is simply more and more music. I can hardly wait for the 100 hour mark! Well done!

No. 189) More Revealing than Kimber 4TC:

Hello Paul, By now I'm sure you're used to hearing high praise from your astonished customers, so this will be no surprise. I've had your speaker cable for around a month now and I absolutely love it. Although I'm a "cable believer," as I like to put it, even I did not expect speaker wire to affect the sound of my system to such a high degree. They instantly sounded more revealing than the Kimber 4TC I was using, and the improved transient response you describe is right on the money, it's exactly what I hear. Today I received a pair of your interconnects which I'm about to unpack and try. I expect great things. Thanks for everything,

No. 190) The Anti’s Startled Me:

When I first heard the anti's in my rig, it startled me. I've only been startled by a upgrade twice. The 1st time was when I bought a pass labs aleph-3 ($2500 retail) the 2nd time when I bought my 1st sacd player with a 5670/6n3 tube output stage. ($2300 retail).

The $100 anti-cables sound like a major component upgrade. Incredible! I made a good buck selling my old $$$$ harmonic technology pro-11's. Sincerely,

Dave Bauer, NY

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
