Mapleshade cables?? v Anti Cables

I have basically every product/tweek Mapleshade offers in my system in one form or another with the exception of cable related items. I'm sure they sound good, but I am wary of them being unshielded and the fragility of the design. I may try them at some point and have to change my position, but for now I'm contend to stay with just the cones, bases, tweeks etc.

I've had both in my system, not to mention many much more expensive speaker cables.
The Anti-cables are a good value in their price range, better than Monster, Audioquest and Kimber products.
Overall, I didn't feel that the Speltz cables could take my system to the highest levels. At the time, I owned several much more expensive pairs of speaker cables.

Bottom line, I downsized and sold all of my big $$$ speaker cables. I then bought a used pair of Mapleshade (Clearview) Golden Double Helix Plus version. I have to say that I am VERY impressed. These cables offer deep bass, rich midrange, extended high's and good, though not great, soundstaging. In my mind they smoke the Anti-cables, and even compete with some mega-buck cables.

I can't tell you what to do...the Anti-cables do represent a very good value. However, if it was me, I'd stretch the budget a tad further for the Clearview products.

Cheers,
John

I use Mapleshade Golden Helix speaker cables. Nothing else comes close in my system, including Anti-cables, though they do have their fan base on these boards.
My Mapleshades were bright sounding for awhile, but eventually settled down. I wouldn't use in an already bright or zippy system.

Noo!!? .. why don't you try a pair?
I'm trying the Anti-Cables and I have put in garbage my Groneberg Quattro Reference speaker cable
You can't believe about transparence detail and quality over all of this Anti-Cables

Anti-cables sound wonderful. Not only do AC's sound great, but they're rediculously cheep as well. However, they are as stiff as coat hangers and are, in my opinion, difficult to work with. Try DNM. Around the same price, easier to handle, and more practical. Just my opinion...
