Anti-cables alternatives

Are there any other manufacturer's of magnet wire based cables (speaker and interconnect) other than anti-cables? Some time ago, I purchased some Magwire cables (speaker and interconnect), but I don't think they are available anymore. There were several variations of the interconnects and speaker cables which potentially enabled better "system matching". Haven't tried the anti-cables yet, but was curious if there were any other options. Thanks for your time and assistance.

I don't use the anti-cables, but yes I do find bare cable or enamelled cable to perform very well in some circumstances and to be more naturally dynamic and more neutral than the effect of poly whatsit or teflon. Absorbing vibration is an issue but teflon is rubbish for that job.

Quite. For mechanical support one can use wide masking tape (paper, one side adhesive). Both JD & I have done this and it's fine (rather than have the wires dangling in the air).

Does anyone know of a source for bulk OFC magnet wire?

What size wire is used in the anti-cable IC?
What is the geometry?

Greg, not sure what you mean.....so are you using bits of tape every x inches to prevent flapping or using copius amounts of tape to wrap entire length of wires?
