Speltz Anti-cable needs break-in period?

Late in the game for posting to this thread, but I wonder if anybody above who found the Anti-Cables a bit light in the loafers used them untwisted (i.e., spaced apart), which as I understand the electrical theory of the situation could make individual-lead speaker cables such as these sound weaker in the bass. (I haven't tried the Anti-Cables myself, but do own Au24.)

With my Von Schweikert VR-4JRs, I use the Speltz anti-cables. I have tried twisted and untwisted and found the bass more defined and quicker using untwisted. I also thought the extreme highs were more natural. I have gone back and forth and now prefer the untwisted, and will keep them that way. I am now a believer in solid core wire. It would take a very refined system to appreciate the difference between manufacturers of solid copper, but at these prices most people could buy both and use the ones they liked the best.

Tgrisham, how do you have the cables spaced when untwisted?

I have a rather short distance between my monoblocks and the speakers, only about 24 inches. I have spaced them as widely as possible from each other until of course they terminate. Most of the distance they are about 4-6 inches apart to each module. The VR4JRs have a top and bottom module, so they are bi-wired. This splits the wires even more, but of course separating the positive and negative to each module is the point.

the speltz interconnect and speaker cables need a minimum of 300 hours and preferably 500 hours before critical evaluation.

i have the speaker cable and 2 pair of interconnect cables with bullet plugs.

since the cable has virtually no dielectric, the cables need a re-breaking in whenever they are moved from one link to another.

thus, if you lend your friend a pair of speaker cables and interconnects, he/she needs to put around 200 hours before critical listening.
