    I've got some I'm going to try out soon. I'm curious what terminated coat hanger sounds like.

    Cheers,
    Russ
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    I've heard lackluster testimonials, but haven't tried 'em personally.
    They look cool, and they don't cost an arm and a leg -- so why the hell not?

    And like Russ said, you can always use them for coat hangers
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I think I did try them (I did something like that on the Cable Demo Thread), I didn't like them at all... I was thinking it was a Joke, if they sounded great why doesn't 14/2 romex sound ok? The sound were all over the place nice bass / little mid / nice high / but missed some highs. Not level, more like an equalizer with every one at different levels -12 +12 -12 +12 -12 +12 -12

    you might be right on with that. I currently use them. I switched from my Olympus cable when I had the 2 channel in an area of the bassment that seemed to seriously enhance the bass, kinda boomy. When I switched to the Anticables, it seemed to help that out a lot. Now that I'm in an area of the bassment that was allways bass challenged, I should change back, I just havent done it yet. this thread makes me want to do it all themore.

    thanx for the kick in the arse Steve :)

    Ohskigod,

    I would try it out, I was never fan of the Anti Cables but due to the Cable Demo Tread became an AudioQuest believe hands down.

    So there's may thumbs down on Anti, thumbs up on AudioQuest.

    Sorry to add this but I really thought Anti Cables where Anti Tech, just didn't float my boat.
