I know I'm coming to this discussion really late, but I've had excellent results with Paul's cables.  Tons of details seems to be their strength in my systems.  Weakness: probably a reduction in air.

 While I don't have a lot of time on them nor sepnt too much time really listening, I will agree with what you said. I am getting very good detail but more noticable is the dynamics.

 I usually use "thinner" cables around 16 awg with silver so I am noticing a difference in the sense of air in comparison.

 Listening at this moment to Joss Stone - The Soul Sessions, i find the vocals to be very good. Extremely involving without any grain.

 As mentioned, I will put more time on them before a serious evaluation is made. Hopefully I will be able to get them into the D2 system soon.

I have Speltz coiled ICs and speaker wires. I have heard better SCs, at an exorbitant price, that being Shunyata's Helix cables.

My sound is a clear as spring water. Speltz SCs,  compared to the Shuyata SCs, have a more holographic midrange, while the Shunyata's are more extended, and tight in the bass.

i, too, had great results w/ the AC. overall, i found them quite neutral and revealing esp for cables anywhere near their price range...the Silversmith Silver SCs which are absolutely the best cables i've heard in my system regardless of price that went into my system to replace the ACs are even more neutral, revealing, detailed w/ more air and better dynamics.

I had em, and sold em.  I couldn't justify the price of them when i had some store bought magnet cables that i made into speaker cable.  Despite the price (a pretty low price) of the anticables, make your own.  Instead of using 12 gauge, i used several cables of different gauges to achieve 14ga, and it sounded better than the anticables.  

However, for people who don't have the time, jus get a set of em.  They're cheap and they sound good.

I just put a set of "anti-cables" into my "junior" system and I think they sound great.

The other cables I used in this system were:
Wireworld Atlantis (older version, mk2 or 3)
TG Audio HSR

The "anticables" clearly bettered both by a wide margin.......and the 8' HSR is literally 10x the price, and respected in most circles.

I call that tremendous value!

I have been listening for 2 days and I do not hear any of the annoying glare that others have mentioned.

My "junior" system consists of:
Spendor S6 speakers
ASL 1001 Kt88 integrated
Audio Aero Prima cdp
