Anti-Cabls Ic's alternatives?

The Anti-Cable ICs hard to beat in pure passage of the music signal. I run them long with no interference and run my SCs very short. These happen to be very thin flat ribbons.

Audiofeil, there just may be no more resolving speaker than the Apogee Scintilla. While some other components in my system have been switched out, including the Speltz SC, the Speltz IC stays.

Audiofeil, you have a deep phobia against all audio that is direct sell, or DIY. I encourage you to get psychological help.

For the sake of other readers. here is some information beyond the capabilities of your challenged mind:

Resolving is not subjective. Resolution is measurable.

The Caliper, and Duetta are second cousins the the Scintilla and Full Range. The former have a single Kapton backed ribbon. The latter have separate midrange and tweeter ribbons. They are naked ribbons, making them a lot lighter, and sensitive. The tweeter ribbons on a Scintilla wraps from front to back, creating a bipole radiation pattern.

Speltz's Anti-Cable interconnects are a true giant killer. Why anyone would want to spend more than their miniscule price, I don't know.

I use to have the AC speaker cables in service too. When I heard Sunyata Helical SCs, I knew there was more. That was depressing, because the Shunyata cables are very expensive. Imagine my happy surprise when I found out ultra thin bare ribbon SCs are even better than the Shunyata SCs.

Buy the Anti-Cable ICs. They are cheap and you have little to loose, if you become convinced something is better in your system. In my system, they have proved the equivalent to any component improvement.

Eldartford and Tvad, you two are very frequent posters and usually impart sound advice. In my case, you are just making fools of yourselves out of ignorance. Anyone who has heard my system would agree with my harsh summation. What I wonder is, who are you two? You are careful not to stick your neck out to acerbic criticisms, like you just handed out to me, by not advertising your own systems. Are you dealers?

Eldartford, (Ed;) I do take your constructive criticism, should I say, "Did?" and now only will I come in in defense of a product I know full well.

Aerospace is a very hard occupation to ride through to retirement. How did you do it?

Hi Tvad. I said that because people who know say so. I am not a techy. Aren't voices and instruments recorded using spectrum analyzers? Some folks have been pushing me to prove my sound through recording analyzers. That is an expensive proposition. The proof is in the pudding, of course.

Tvad, I will stand down on the subject of measuring resolution. It is far more complicated, and not fully reliable than I had been led to believe.

On SACD, DVD-A, you are wrong. I have proved it on my system numerous times. All oversampling and upsampling players suck. There is no more accurate term. The highs always sound contrived. The stage is shallow, and short. The mids are always grainy. They all support the generally their bad reviews compared to vinyl here and elsewhere.

My Audio Note DAC is an AN in name only. It has been reworked to get rid of the choked, rolled off British sound they all have, down to their most expensive AN DACs. The stock Audio Note house sound is partially accomplished by utilizing frequency limiting diodes, for instance.

My AN DAC sounds natural. When called upon, it can bring the house down with orchestra crescendos at full cry. Then, it can gently finesse a delectable classical guitar solo. Everything sounds the way they are.

This system will go on show. It didn't happen this year due to last minute snags. Next year we will put all doubters to rest. I will happily entertain anyone's vaunted SACD player, or obscenely priced SCs. I can guarantee any taker, you will all go away deeply embarrassed.
