---------------------- Here are AntiCable testimonials number 1-10 -----------------------

No.1) No Sonic Signature:

"I realized when trying to describe what the Anti-Cables "sound like", that they virtually have no sonic signature. They are allowing me to hear the good qualities of the other components in the system, more so than any speaker cables that have been tried."

Gary Fettig, OR

-

No.2) Soundly Defeats Audience AU24:

"I have had your Anti-Cables active in my system for over a month, and the result have been truly astonishing."

"The clarity that I thought was excellent, is now stunning. The bass is as well articulated as I've heard in my system. This added clarity and articulation did not bring any undesirable partners to the affair, such as brightness and bloat. Everyone in this hobby believes they have spent their money wisely to construct their system, but this takes value to a completely new dimension. Value itself is wonderful, but when this "value" soundly defeats two products that cost $1000 (Audience AU24), and $750 (AP Solo Crystal Oval) convincingly in my system, the ultimate value has indeed been achieved. Thank you."

Chris Bucki, WI

No.3) A Replacement Rock For Her Finger:

"I am passing your cables around to all my audiophile friends, (or at least we think we're audiophiles) and one by one they are calling me and crying the blues. One of the funniest things I've heard is from the wife of a good friend. She said, "I can't believe he talked me into paying more for his Nordost cables than he did my wedding ring". He is now going to sell the Nordost and buy your cables, along with a replacement rock for her finger. I've got about 8 more people to show the cables to. I think you will hear from these guys, and who knows how many of their friends will get hooked. Thanks,

Kirt Smith, CA

No.4) No Hyperbole! Just SET Satisfaction:

"Paul, I thought the endorsements for your Anti-Cables contained a certain amount of hyperbole, but the idea behind them intrigued my audio inclinations. I am an audiophile on a tight budget and cannot afford speaker cables priced as much as my monthly household expenses. I am not eloquent with words that describe music, but I will tell anyone who asks, that your Anti-Cables have improved every aspect of my humble system. The sound is bigger, fuller, more accurate, and more satisfying than ever before in my home. Single ended, high efficiency speakers, a penchant for analog music reproduction demands accurate components and the Anti-Cables fulfill that in full. Thanks for a remarkable audio component."

Fred H. Smith, GA

-

No.5) Broken Discovery Cables:

"I just want to tell you that after 5 minutes of listening, the sound has opened up, strings are pluckier, sound is clearer, the music played louder, and in short an astounding improvement in the sound. The sound is great and your wire really makes a difference. My Discovery Cables now sound broken."

Ken Lester, NY

-

No.6) Disbelief in Sweden:

"For the first time ever I listen to Music! In doing so I'm not forced to analyze the system, looking for faults to dismiss, or HI-FI parameters other than Transparency! I having a hard time to accept your anti-cables, at a 5% cost of my Stealth Ultra-ribbon silver cables, they are outperforming them totally!! Because NOW I really HEAR all effects caused by a single change, be it an interconnect, a tube or whatever. THAN"Z............PAUL!!"

Poul Glenstrup, Sweden

-

No.7) Missing in Action:

"It sounds like there isn't any speaker cables in my system at all! Everything is "just there" in all the right places! The bass is nice and tight and well extended, and the midrange is nice and open and warm sounding, and the treble extremes (Cymbals) are all there!!! The new Chris Botti Jazz CD my wife recently bought me, never sounded so good."

"Now, I can hear deep into the soundstage. It's as if he is standing right there in the room and playing with his band just for me. I know that is an overused phrase, but it's true, that is what it sounds like."

"Actually, I like the nice red color of your cables, and like the fact that they are suspended in mid air, so to speak, off the floor."

Robert Matthews, VA

-

No.8) Problem Solved:

"Hooked them up and did 2 hours listening. Couldn't believe it - the problem I have been seeking to resolve (smear during very loud complex orchestral passages) has been corrected!!!!"

Greg Russell, CA

-

No.9) Laughing Out Loud:

"These cables will be in my system forever or until you come up with something better. I have something to prove to some friends, and then they will be hooked. The speakers simply just disappear. Vocals come right up the middle along with the drummer in scary 3D."

"I started laughing when the speakers started to play. This was a major component missing in my system and I did not know it. It brought the performance up 50%."

Paul Canady, NV

No.10) I’ll Sell my Soul:

"Paul, I am absolutely amazed. I got the Anti-Cables today. Brand new, out of the box, they outperform my Kimber 8tc's, MIT Terminator 2's, Audioquest Slates, and Audioquest Bedrocks by so far, it is almost an immeasurable difference. Who did you have to sell your soul to, in order to come up with this so simple, but perfect design. I can't wait to listen to the improvements (if possible) as they break in. This is the most remarkable, yet affordable change I have ever made to my system. No matter what I change in the future, your Anti-Cables will be first and foremost, the key to the ultimate performance."

"I must admit I had my doubt's, but I am now ready to sell my soul, for more of your products. Thank you very much for your devotion to the best reproduction of music possible. A customer for life."

Kirt Smith, CA

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
