No. 161) Better Then Cables Costing 10 to 25 Times More in Germany:

Hi Paul, hope you're well. I purchased one year ago a pair of Anti-Cables ( 10 ft ) and they're simply outstanding performers. Compared with 10 and 25 times more expensive cables I was immediately convinced from your speaker cables. It's the all over/ the 'no special effect' performance, which is the positive difference to the competitors. With any of the 'tweaks' I tried (Shun Mook / Harmonix / Hal-o Dampers and more), I was able to hear the change in the soundsystem, before it was sometimes a 'guess'. So you really can tune your system to your preferences without losing the 'natural' sound character of the cables. Best Regards

No. 162) Magic:

Judy & Paul, I received the cables yesterday and installed them today. There is only one word I could possibly use to descript them: "magic". Thanks again,

No. 163) Veils Removed:

Hi. This is Tom Artman from Manassas, VA. I've been enjoying a biwire pair between my Adcom GFP-5400 and B&W CDM-1NT monitors, as well as three pair of Anti-ICs w/the Eichmann connectors. Each addition removed a veil from the sound, particularly the speaker cables! I recommend them to anyone who'll listen. I have some audiophile coworkers, and they're skeptical, naturally, but one of these days my wife and I will be holding a party, and they can come over and hear for themselves.

No. 164) Red Devil in Slovenia:

You probably heard a lot of time, but really, I played with lot of wires (cooper, silver, mixed alloy...) but this one is still a winner. I mean, this red "devil" has more details that I heard from some "high end" silver wire, 99.99999...purity, cryogenically treated etc etc...

No. 165) “Pardon my French”:

Before I tell what I think of the products so far, I have a question. Are either of you in the ad biz? When I came to you site for the first time, I thought to myself, if I was going to art direct those product shots- that's pretty much exactly what I'd do. Rarely do I see my own sensibilities so nicely done. Kudos!

So... with all of two days under my belt, I can hear why most would say these cables and the ICs are a very fairly priced and they would be correct. However, they appear in the long run to have the potential of being very expensive, both in time and money. When I should be doing other things, I'm not. I'm just listening. But that's not all, look at the value side of things. I for one, do not think getting a new amp is going to be an inexpensive proposition. And after all these years of living with the basically the same speakers (upgraded in '91), they may finally be in jeopardy, too. At this point, we are thinking serious time and money. Especially when common sense says that's the ass-backwards approach. The again, the whole notion of the A-Cs is rather counterintuitive- perhaps brilliantly so. All they strive to do, is what one can only hope for- they try to get out of the way. How refreshing.

So for now, do Anti-Cables have value? From my POV, hardly. Invaluable? Quite possibly, time will tell...eh?

Best regards,
Peter DeBoer, NC

....and more, two weeks later...

Pardon my French

Holy Shit! Sorry, but that's the only thought that I had when I turned on the tunes this morning. The Anti's are now broken in and I have the pleasure of owning one outstanding product. Kudos!

No.166) How Something so Affordable can be so Much Better:

so far i have replaced all my IC's and speaker cables and every time it still surprise me. The most revealing was the last set of IC i installed, recently i switched to all SET so all previous XLR from paul have to be replaced. I borrowed a pair of harmonic technology IC that cost in the 4 figures and when i got the anti-IC, i installed them and the sound change was simply amazing. How something so affordable can be so much better , just go to show the power of marketing. Your competitors have spend millions in advertising how good they are and you have beat them all with free word of mouth advertising and a great concept that all the fancy expensive metal parts cannot replace nor compare.

No. 167) Wonderful Simplicity:

I have had your speaker cables for almost 2 years - I haven't used them in at least 8 months until recently I put them back in my system - biwired - to my speakers and - well these cables are so neutral compared to what I was using before - it was almost like the same revelation came back to me as when I first used your cables.

These absolutely do not add anything to the signal - they are just a beautiful conduit to what's already there. I have re-discovered the wonderful simplicity of the anticables. Thank You,

No. 168) Beat $2000 cables in Spain:

Hi Judi and Paul: Today I’ve received the speaker cables and I’ve tried them (in biamp mode for the medium and high frequencies). Today I’ve ordered the second pair (for the low frequencies). Why I’ve ordered so fast the second pair? Because I’m seated at home with my wife, enjoying a red wine and listening my super HIFI system as never I’ve listened it. It seems UNBELIVABLE to me, these babies of 100$ could beat my +2000$ speaker cables. The voices are stunning, the violins sounds like they’re here…I can’t believe it.

Sorry Paul, when I was ordered your cables I’ve though “hey Luis another waste of money trying new esoteric hifi gear…”. Nothing far from reality, these cables are the best investment I’ve never done in my system. There will be people who read my review and they will have my first though, let me say them just one thing: BUY THE ANTICABLES AND ENJOY DE MUSIC forever. Thanks Paul to share with us your knowledge and to have created these cables, Thanks Judy for the fast delivery and excellent shipping box, thanks both to make me and my wife happy.

No. 169) Completely Opened up the Speakers:

Hello, Just wanted to let you know I received cables in perfect condition. These replaced a pair of Monster M950i's that I’ve had for years - the immediate difference was that your cables completely opened up my speakers (A/D/S MV80t) on the high end and soundstage. Clarity on vocals and guitar licks were defined more than I’ve ever heard from my system. I absolutely love them. Sincerely,

Dan Evans, MI

No. 170) I am Driving my Family Nuts in the Netherlands:

Hi Paul, Received the goodies yesterday.

Love the Digital Anti-IC (replaced a QED) very smooth, detailed and faster in the bass area. Combined with the new Anti-Ic Interlink, it spreads the soundstage nicely. Although I did miss the clear placement of instruments, voices etc. (probably needs "playing in").


The biggest step forward is the anti-cable speaker cables combined with the ZEROs. Set at 2x the soundstage improved hugely (details, placement of
instruments). I have upgraded it to 3x. The bass is even tighter now. I am driving my family nuts, playing music at 5 in the morning. The sound is so addictive, I just cannot stop myself from playing my reference cd's.

So now I do NOT need
- a complete revision of my amps (tubes)
- acoustical treatment of the room (the booming bass used to drive me crazy).

The whole system sounds as tight as a drum. Thanks a lot. Cheers,

Piet Keijzer, Netherlands

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
