Anti Cables Speaker Wire


I just bought a set of Anti Cables speaker wire for my system (bananas on both ends):
1. Cary SLP-94
2. BAT VK 200
3. Rega P3-24 with Mitchell Counterweight, aftermarket aluminum subplatter, TTPSU, Clearaudio Virtuoso
4. Cambridge Audio 650 CD player
5. Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers
I have been running big old Monster Cable wires that I have had for over a decade. When I hooked up the Anti Cables I lost low end punch and dynamics. What used to give me goosebumps now just sounds lean. Any advice? Thanks.

Anti-cables did not work well in my system - less bass, grittier sound than Audience or Cardas. But other people love them, so I assume that they are unusally system-dependent or taste-dependent.

I also found that when I had an amp with an RFI problem, the anti-Cables made the problem worse. I think that solid core cables generally have this characteristic.
