---------------------- Here are AntiCable testimonials number 211-220 ---------------------

No. 211) Relieved in The Netherlands:

Dear Judy, Greetings from the Netherlands. I would like to add a testimonial because I am so happy with your cables, testimonial: Bought the anticables loudspeaker cables to test and maybe replace my expensive cables. I was very pleased with the results. I have never had or heard cables that can keep up with these anticables what a relief; no more switching or searching for speaker cables. The anticables are so neutral and the 3d soundstage is phenomenal and it is as if there was a curtain lifted over the whole audio spectrum. I can hear things now that I have never heard before. Keep up the good work. I am buying the anticables interlinks for sure!!!

No. 212) Without the Nonsensical Marketing Hype:

Hi Paul and Judy, I would like to thank you for the wonderful cables. These speaker cables deliver without any of the nonsensical marketing hype. Best regards, Sri

No. 213) One Word… Transparent:

Paul and Judy… I have probably close to 100 hrs on the speaker cables and I can describe them in one word: transparent. In addition I want to thank you for service that is second to none.

No. 214) Sweet treble, Super Tight Bass, and so Open:

Hi Paul, Well cables for my Maggies arrived today, man was that fast, thanks!!! Hooked up only an hour ago, and they sound fantastic right out of the box!! First thing (actually two things) I noticed instantly was extended "sweet" treble, and super tight bass and so open...Wow!! I'm sure they will only get better with time. Thanks again,

No. 215) Bold and Naked:

Hi Paul, I was extremely pleased with my purchase of the bi-wire pair of speaker cables. The sound as a whole is bold and naked. Bass is full and lively. I can detect no coloration. Most importantly, they are very musical. Regards,

Kiat Seong Ooi, Malaysia

No. 216) Compared to Analysis Plus Oval 9 cables:

The anti-cables I bought about 3 weeks ago are probably fully broken by now; they have been running for about 140 hours. I didn’t have much opportunity to listen carefully before they had something like 75 hours, and it took me some time to fully appreciate the cables. But now, WOW !

Compared to the Analysis Plus Oval 9 I had in my system for the last 4 years, the major differences are:

- The anti-cables are very fast, faster than AP Oval 9. In fact, I couldn’t think that a cable could be faster than that.

- They are also more transparent.

- The bass frequencies are more controlled, so it’s easier to follow bass lines throughout a song.

- Probably because of this better foundation on the lower frequencies, almost everything has more weight, particularly piano, and the texture and timbres of instruments are richer.

- The medium is sweet and delicate, as with the AP, but the reproduction of voices and other instruments in this frequency range is more 3-D, palpable, with a better sense of space.

- At the other end of the spectrum, the highs are more extended and open, particularly the sound of cymbals, triangles.

As a conclusion, I would say that all this is very very enjoyable. With the anti cables, listening to music become « easy listening » because everything is palpable, from small dynamic and rhythmic nuances to instrumental timbres subtleties, all this without any effort from the listener.

Congratulations for your very good product

In fact, even though I have actually an excellent pair of IC’s, I will soon call Judy to order a pair of Anti-IC’s because I’m very curious about how it could sound with the anti cables.

No. 217) My System is Transformed:

I was using cheap cables throughout my system until now. It did not make any sense to me that changing cables could make much of a difference to the sound of my system ("wires is wires"). Well, I was wrong! After swapping in an ok RCA cable (instead of a $3 one) between my CD player and receiver and swapping in the anti-cables speaker cables, my system is transformed. I don't want to sound like the reviews you can read in audiophile magazines, but there was so much more bass I was shocked (and now have problems with room modes I must deal with that never reared their ugly heads before), and the highs sparkle like never before. My next step is to swap my ok RCA cable for a decent one, on par with the anti-cables. Thanks Paul! Best regards,

Doug Rothstein, Switzerland

No. 218) Sold Ridiculously Over Priced Transparent Cables:

Paul, First and foremost...........THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Your cables are the best thing to come along in this snooty world of audiophiles since the rebirth of vinyl!

I grew up in the "Big Easy" New Orleans, LA and have been surrounded by amazing musicians simply walking down Royal St, so it's safe to say I have a pretty nice foundation regarding music. So in the quest of attempting to re create this beautiful music I got sucked up in this crazy hobby of hi fi! Up until now, it's been a love hate relationship. After receiving and installing your cables, I now have MUSIC, very sweet, warm, dynamic MUSIC. There is absolutely 0 sonic signature to your cables which allows so much information to come through that I just sit back, close my eyes and smile so big my face hurts! My wife even agrees, especially about the price.

I have just sent in an order for another pair so that I can bi wire and have sold a ridiculously over priced pair of Transparent Audio cables and made enough money to take the Mrs. to dinner!! So thank you Paul and Judy for an awesome product at real world prices with super customer service! Cheers from Down South!!

No. 220) That's Pretty Impressive:

Hello Paul, Got the cables today and I have to say that's pretty impressive. I bought these to connect my subwoofer but hooked them up to the fronts to see how they sound. I need longer lengths for my set-up so I'll get with you on cables for the fronts when I can. I've had a number of different brands of cables on my speakers and I have to say these are as good as most I've had. Very impressive. Thanks

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
