So I got the anti-cables as per a few recommendations. Got the spade ends on both, but when I got bock to my amp, realized that i needed bananas or raw wire. So I did it diy and cut off the spades and stripped the wire.

As for the sound (keeping in mind that this is my first foray into this sort of thing) they are definitely very clear...I would say almost bright. I need to listen more, but I'm going to have to say, right out of the box, a good buy. Definitely hearing some things I haven't heard before (in a good way).

Thanks for the help.
