ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them?


I find myself intrigued the Speltz speaker-cable option, in part because the prices are like zero when compared to most speaker cables, but I wouldn't mind reading reactions beyond those he includes in his ads and on his web site.

Tin_Cup: I don't understand what you mean about - over +. If they are braided, how is there any difference?

I started using the Speltz a while back and really like them soncially. Extraordinary clarity and lack of grain. A bit lighter in the bottom than my Audience AU24 but I haven't switched back. The longer term problem is the way they look. I'd be willing to pay quite a bit more for this cable if it were pre-spaced or braided and were more flexible (which I suppose would defeat the design).
Just be sure not to run them with the two wires spaced too widely apart or you will probably be disappointed with the sound. There are, or should be, some archived discussions about this.
Stvncar, it's $10 per foot PAIR, so half of what you imagine. For many of us, it's a reasonable premium to pay to have the wire cut to size and terminated.
They are not twisted and as far from each other as possible. The sound is stunning.
That's very interesting and also very surprising. Based on my limited knowledge (Sean, care to weigh in?), you are sub-optimizing electrical characteristics in a big way by doing that. Just goes to show how system-dependent these things can be.
