I have a set of these cables that I have used with a four amp system. When I first received them, the cables sounded really nice, but then I went and replaced the 14 gauge amp power cords with 10 gauge cords, which extended the bass, I lost the last bit in the highs--the speakers sounded muted. I replaced the cables going to the high frequency drivers with a lower 18 gauge generic cable, actually stripped some old audioquest cables down, pulled out two of the wires, made my own cables, and have my highs back again. I left the ant-cables going to the low freqency drivers alone and am very happy with the set up.
Anti-Cable High Frequency Performance
I've just installed a set of anti-cables in my bi-wired system with Magnepan 3.6 speakers. I find the bass and mid-range nice and tight and the overall sound very balanced, smooth, and natural. The soundstage is very good.
But I notice that the high end is not as extended as my previous cables (good quality oxygen free heavy gauge copper strand). There's less detail in the upper end.
I did twist the anti-cables as directed in the instructions to get as much high end performance as possible.
I like the natural sound but I miss the high end definition.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Or, does anyone have any advice about alternative cables at the same price?
I should say that I am very impressed with the overall quality of the sound. This is not an anti-anti-cable post. Just trying to tweak it some more.
