Anticables: Scam?

Be careful with the language you use. Scam is a strong word. Paul has been doing his thing at Anticables for a very long time with NUMEROUS positive reviews from both professional and private users. I have his 6.2 interconnects and in my system they are the most natural, organic cables I’ve had. Made my $2,000 hidiamonds sound like bad hifi.

System synergy is so important. My integrated sounds amazing on my old speakers, but I purchased a pair of Rethm Trishnas a couple weeks ago. The Trishnas sounded fantastic on a tubed integrated at the seller’s house but on my integrated not so much. I’m waiting for delivery on two other tubed integrateds which I believe will be magic with the Trishnas but you see my point. Maybe the Anticables just didn’t gel in your system. Or, you’re expecting something else from them. Hey, to each his own.

I wouldn't remove the 6.2 from my system for anything. 

Thanks for comments, I was a little concerned because there's not many reviews online as compared to say -- Shunyata, Cardas, AudioQuest, etc.

There WAS a big difference prior to burn-in, namely I found the AntiCables cold and lacking in detail compared to the no-names. After the 400 or so hours of burn-in those problems appear to be gone -- but I expected to hear more than 0 difference!

Oh well, I'll play around with some other configurations and see what happens...

Almarg +1   I’ve had plenty of expensive cables that didn’t work out in my system.   I never impugned the manufacturer’s reputation.   I simply returned or re-sold them.  No wonder small businesses struggle to survive.

I bought used Acoustic Zen Absolute ICs that retail >$2k and found them better than $200 AQ King Cobra by small margin.  Same neutral character, slightly faster transients, more refined (cleaner) with darker background, a little better imaging. For me this is the point of diminishing returns.  Perhaps people with better hearing (professional musicians etc.) should invest more, but for me this is it.  Perhaps, as Al stated, in better system ICs would play larger role, but again - my hearing is not getting any better.

Whoa! What? Not many reviews of Anti Cables? A quick I.e., 10 second, search turned up quite a few reviews plus Q&A, forum comments, etc. for Anti Cables including reviews by most major audio online magazines. Where’s the beef?

Here is the conclusion from the review in Positive Feedback,

"I could ramble on, providing more examples of how great these cables sound, but why waste my time or yours? At their ludicrously affordable price, the risk of trying them is low. They are a genuine steal! They would be a gargantuan value at twice the price. I recommend that you try them, even if you are not in the market for speaker cables. It’s not often that I encounter a diamond in the rough that glitters so brightly. I have to sign off now—I’ve got to go buy my wife a few pairs of shoes with all the money I just saved on these great speaker cables. What are you waiting for?"
