Level 3.1 Analog XLR Interconnects (starting at $250/pair): A stereo pair of balanced ANTICABLES Interconnects which will enable line level analog connections between components.

These Level 3.1 Interconnects use our new better sounding ACElectrum™ Silver/Gold alloy signal wire which replaces the original Level 3's 100% silver wire. Adding a small amount of Gold eliminates the sonic signature of silver, leaving only the music to be heard. We kept the price the same, but the performance is greater.

We absolutely love the sound of the new ACElectrum™ Silver/Gold signal wire. These and our Level 4.1 (which uses the worlds best sounding XLR "Xhadow" plugs), will soon be known as the interconnects to beat. We are confident you will enjoy them!

Highlights:

• Starts at only $250/pair
• 30 day risk free trial
• Fully Balanced design
• "NEW" ACElectrum™ Silver/Gold alloy signal conductors
• Made in USA (one pair at a time in Lake Elmo MN)

[tab name='DESIGN']

Design Concept:

Typical interconnect cables usually have a signal wire surrounded with a thick plastic dielectric material, which is then surrounded by the ground conductor to shield it from EMI/RFI noise, and then more plastic dielectric material. This typical approach has the usual drawbacks of accumulating a lot of dielectric effect distortion, and an accumulation of shunting capacitance. The

ANTICABLES Analog XLR Interconnects use a different approach. Since air is a near perfect dielectric, no extra insulation dielectric material (beyond the thin red coating) is used, and the wires are suspended in free air. Eliminating dielectric effect distortion is what allows these interconnects to sound like music, (not a cable).

Additional Features:

• No thick plastic jacketing, which adds dielectric effect distortion and smears the audio signal
• Double shielded option is available for use with turntables or when extra RFI/EMI protection may be needed. Click on thumbnail photo just below the "ADD TO BAG" button for more details.
• Sound less like a cable and more like real music than cables costing many times more (see Testimonials)

Sound Improvements over Level 2 Interconnects:

• More resolving of textural and tactile information
• They allow you to hear not just the musical instruments, but also how they are being played
• Greater resolution also provides a bigger and deeper soundstage

Sound Improvements over former Level 3 Interconnects:

• Just as resolving so nothing is given up
• The sonic signature of 100% silver wire is now removed
• The highs no longer sound a bit "hard", "forward", or "bright"
• Highs remain naturally "soft" and deep in the soundstage where they belong
• Level 3 owners can upgrade to Level 3.1 for 1/2 price (Contact us)

Upgrade Paths:

The Level 4.1 Analog XLR Interconnects (starting at $550/pr), adds the worlds best sounding Xhadow Precision XLR Plugs, and additional shielding.
