Received the Paul Speltz anti-Cables yesterday and hooked them up tonight. The 45 amp is on the bench so I'm using a Marantz 2215B receiver.

I've never made a change so profound as this. The Marantz went from a homogenised, muddy sound to oh-so-clear and lively. If these cables were a speaker I would suspect a "presence bump" so they're not really neutral, emphasizing the upper mids and lower treble.

They sure sound good though. And the imaging, side-to-side and front-to-back is better than any other 'cheap" cable I've tried. $10/Foot stereo pair so everyone should try them.

Can't wait to hear them hooked up to the 45.

Thanks, Bill. Any other revelations you'd like to share?

Emphasis on upper mids and lower treble? Sounds like you just switched to Fostex speakers....

Received the other half of my cable experiment this AM. Heartland made Belden 89259 IC's with Eichamnn bullet plugs.

The artificial 'presence' is gone but the great soundstage and detail are still there. Cheap cables rule!
