Thaine, Product AssemblerThaine comes to us from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He moved to Minnesota last August as a recent graduate of Michigan Technological University in Biomedical Engineering.

 

With his interests in restoring vintage electronics, such as a 1950’s TV, and a 1970’s Realistic Amp — Thaine found ANTICABLES and has been with us since February of this year, as a product assembler specializing in the production of Interconnects and Speaker Wires.

We are thrilled to have him as a part of our ANTICABLES family, and would like to extend our congratulations to him, as he will be getting married later this month!

It’s All About the Music: The Jayhawks

The Jayhawksby Judy Speltz

For the past three summers we have been attending “Music in the Zoo” concert series at the Minnesota Zoo — a small amphitheater setting outdoors among the animals.

In late June we settled into a fantastic concert with three encores: The Jayhawks. We’ve had a couple of their albums for years, listening to them as they make their way through our music rotation. Paul noted, “I’ve always wanted to be able to like The Jayhawks more than I did, and seeing them in person achieved that”.

I have to agree — WOW, what a great night. Seeing live music is always exciting, especially when it’s an intimate setting, but their music is still resonating in my head a week later.

How do you define them: are they folk, are they soft rock? Greg Louris’s guitar playing could really grind out the Rock side of their music, yet the harmony and lyrics to their songs are soulful and steadfast.

The night was a pleasant surprise for us, and we hope you will take an evening to become more familiar with this long standing Minnesota original, The Jayhawks.

Best in Show: Value for your money.

ANTICABLES was honored to get the attention of Chris Martens, who is the Publisher of the excellent publication Hi-Fi+, at T.H.E. Show Newport last month. Chris recognized the sound in our Listening Room, and the less-is-more concept we were displaying at our booth, with his “Best in Show” nod, both for our ANTICABLES products, and Listening Room at the show.

Chris said our Room 404 was “One system that strongly emphasized value for money”.  We couldn’t agree more. Thank you Chris!

The full room setup included:

THE Show Recap & the “Art of Merryl Jaye “

BobMarley5 Recap from Judy Speltz

June of this year we traveled to Irvine California for the T.H.E. Audio show.  This was our second time attending — and it was fantastic to be back! We want to extend our gratitude for all who stopped by to visit with Paul and myself.  It was fantastic meeting so many of our customers.  We very much appreciate your support and business!

There was one vendor that caught my eye,  “The Art of Merryl Jaye“.  WOW. She had a number of original works on display and well as prints of all sizes.  These pieces would really dress up your listening room — if you didn’t catch her at T.H.E. Show, here is her studio website: Merryl Jaye Studio.
