Anticable Cables: what do you like about them thread?

" tomcarr, yes, its called parallel Bi-wire. i got it from the Anti-cable site under FAQ. All i know is that it works, all it cost me to try it was 36.00 bucks. i clearly heard a difference with the jumpers and preferred it that way. Greg "  

For many years I have been bi-wiring without jumpers.  A few years ago, in an email exchange with Paul, he recommended adding the jumpers.  I recall being skeptical and did not try it (though I had no knowledge or facts as to why it wouldn't work).

For some reason, I decided to try this.  Last night I made a set of jumpers out of some 12 GA OCC wire and gold/copper bananas.  This morning I added the jumpers.

I prefer bi-wiring with the jumpers.

I recently purchased a set of "Anticables" interconnects. They are of the (5.2) analog type with RCA connectors, with a length of (0.5 meter).

Currently? I cannot stand them...

But in the paperwork which came with the pair. "Anticables", do recommend a break-in period. Stating that the sound may actually get worse "before" they settle in and improve.

Hee hee, And I can attest to that last sentence being very true at this point!

 So, that particular system has been running now for about (300) Hrs., and I was hoping someone here may have an idea as to how long this break in period was for a similar pair of interconnects from "Anticables".

Anyone?

Since it’s their silver/gold alloy, I would give it another couple hundred hours…I know it’s a lot but sometimes this can take a while. 
 

Paul may let you extend the return period if you email him. Really good guy, bought a bunch of different cables from him, never had issues with returns.

Six years later, I am still enjoying my Anticables. Interconnects and speaker cables.

I applaud your dedication to The Brand and I also enjoy an entire suite of AC products in my main system. 

(Additionally, I used Zeros for many years to help marry tube amps to various exotic speaker designs but have since moved on to more conventional transducers and have sold them to another electrostatic fan)
