It’s All About the Music: Chastity Brown of Minneapolis, MN

March 30, 2016 by Admin

Paul Speltz, President of ANTICABLES talks about Chastity Brown, a musician from his home state of Minnesota, USA.

Since the point of putting together a great sounding system is to enhance your music experience, we would like to share some of our favorite recorded music with you each month.

I have had the opportunity to experience two Chastity Brown live performances in the past couple of years, and even had the opportunity to chat with her. I’ll let the below snippet of her own bio give you the short pitch:

Throw all genres and hyphenates together you want to describe her – indie, roots & soul, rock, blues & country – they are alright, and also not enough. Chastity Brown writes songs that are carried deep in the American psyche, the hunger, desperation and confidence that runs through our times.

Better than words to describe her magic, here is a youtube live concert that is hi-rez enough to watch full-screen: The Lowertown Line: Chastity Brown.

Chastity is a local musician from ANTICABLES home state, but tours all over including upcoming performances in Chicago, NYC, and Europe. Her current upper-midwest tour is with Ani DiFranco. Dates can be seen HERE.

If you are not able to experience Chastity live, this is the CD to buy: Back-Road Highways.

ANTICABLES Lab: 6.2 Digital ICs Innovation

March 18, 2016 by Admin

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
– Keith Louis Eichmann ABSOLUTE-Harmony RCA Plugs
– ACElectrum™ Silver/Gold alloy signal conductors
– Delineated Weave™ configuration
– Optional 150 hour Burn-in treatment
– Optional Cryo & Burn-in treatment
– 30 day risk free trial

CORE DESIGN PRINCIPLES
The ANTICABLES Level 6.2 ABSOLUTE Signature Digital RCA 75 Ohm Interconnect use the newest Keith Louis Eichmann’s Absolute-Harmony RCA Plugs, which we believe are the best sounding RCA plugs in the world. These RCA plugs are so much better then Mr. Eichmann’s PURE-Harmony plugs, we were inspired to push our technology to the maximum to match their musical ability.

NEW CABLE TOPOLOGIES
Instead of using the red coated elongated coil copper wire to serve as both the returning ground wire and the shield wire (as with our other digital cable designs), these RCA Digital Interconnect uses two additional ACElectrum™ Silver/Gold Alloy wires as the return signal path. The three signal carrying wires are then woven in our Delineated Weave™ configuration.

In addition, the woven signal wires are protected by our new DoubleBack™ shielding configuration. The red colored elongated coil copper wire serves only as the shield wire. It provides twice as many shielding loops per inch then normal, and sinks the noise back to the sourcing component’s ground, instead of sending it forward towards the input of the receiving component.

MUSICALLY
This configuration provides an even greater picture of each instrument in the recording, and the harmonic beauty of the music. There is better focus and less digital artifacts.

Inside ANTICABLES: Scott, Product Assembler

February 23, 2016 by Admin

Each time you place an order with us, it is hand-assembled by our team in Lake Elmo, Minnesota USA. Scott is one of our product assemblers, specializing in assembly of our high end power cords.

A Long History of Interest in Audio
Scott’s first recollection of his interest in high-fidelity audio was as a kid; when his older brother had two different high-end stereo systems (of which Scott still has a few vintage Pioneer pieces).

Scott and ANTICABLES
Scott’s history with ANTICABLES is a long one– since he has known ANTICABLES‘ founders Paul and Judy since college in the 1980’s, when they would tinker with building DIY speakers together. Despite their long history of friendship, Scott first came to work with ANTICABLES in 2012 upon release of the Power Cords – a very labor-intensive, hand-assembled product, that required just the right detail-oriented person to take it on!

Outside ANTICABLES
When Scott isn’t laboriously building power cords for ANTICABLES, he is working on his licensing to become a building inspector (another highly detail-oriented job!) Prior to his careers in inspections and at ANTICABLES, Scott was previously a full-time gymnastics coach – for 25+ years! He is also an outdoor enthusiast with a wide range of hobbies from bicycling to hiking, snowboarding, kayaking, tennis and much, much more.
