AntiCables v. Morrow?

Looking to buy 1st cable upgrade from #10 wire. For Ohm Walsh 100-S3s and Spendor S3/5s running off ATI 1502 Power amp with CJ PV 6 tube preamp and Cambridge 740C. Listen to lots of jazz, female vocals, blues, acoustic music. I found the preamp softened and warmed up my sound taking off what I thought was some edge but as an older amp some detail too. Trying to decide on what kinds of speaker cable to move towards. Cant afford to go truly esoteric...$200 -300 max. Can people give me a sense of the relative benefis or tradeoffs between the two companies and the types of cable they sell?

Suggest considering Clear Day Cables - very detailed and musical, comes with a money back guarantee

Telescope Trade, I had the Morrow SP3 speaker cables and traded up to the SP4's. A very noticeable improvement in soundstage, resolution, depth, and tonality. Definitely go for the optional burn-in service which is provided at no additional charge for the SP4's.

I've owned both and prefer Morrow SP1's over Anticables by far. For me Morrow's have been more detailed and natural sounding.

I have moved up the ladder with Morrow Audio and have the SP5 and SP4 SC's in a bi-amp configuration. I also have the MA6 ic as well now. Nice open sound to these and as you move up you add more fullness and an increase in separation. I have owned a lot of the others mentioned except for Clear Day which offers a trial period and I plan on giving those a try as well since they have been reviewed well here and the price is right.

Hiendmuse,

Thanks, I will check with him tomorrow. Yea, I will
let him burn them in as I don't want to go through that
again! It would probably drive me nuts with my new speakers.
