Anyone try the Paul Speltz Anti Wires?


I liked what they did in my system but, but then I had really cheap Audioquest prior to that so I had no where to go but up. I ordered them blind after the blurb in TAS.

I was curious to see if anyone else has tried them/like them/hated them etc.

Sorry, didn't mean to be vague, just brief.
In my system, the Speltz cables initially sounded OK, but after extended listening I found that they emphasized the highs, lacked soundstage depth, and masked the "air" around instruments and vocals. To me they just sounded "hifi".
The Audio Art cables - both ICs and Speaker cables - gave me back that sense of space and air, and a sound that is simply the most musical I've had in my system. Timbres are right on, nothing is spotlit or out of balance, plenty of detail presented, and I find I listen longer and more often just get lost in the music (not the equipment).
The Cardas cables had nice depth and air, but a reticient high end that bothered me after a while. The Xindak cables I also had on hand to compare I found to be very good as well, and a great value, but a little too bright for my taste (kind of the Anti-Cardas cables).
It has been said here many times before and I'll say it again - I find cables to be very system dependent. I love the Audio Art cables - but your mileage may vary. But luckily Audio Art has a test drive program that will basically cost you nothing. I tried 'em - and kept them!
My system:
Shanling T-100 CD Player
VPI MkIV Table with Sumiko Blackbird
Audible Illusions M3A Preamp
Nuforce Ref 9 Monoblocs
Audio Physic Virgo speakers

Hopefully this helps!

There was a thread on this some time ago. It should be required reading before posting.

According the their website DH Labs designed the cables. I'm curious what the differece's are between these and the DHL offerings?

I've just about made up my mind to give the AA IC's and speaker cables a go, but can't help to think maybe I should just go to the source.

The Speltz seem to keep getting alot of press on various forums, so there seems to be many happy customers.
