Any fans of Antipodes Audio cables? I don't think Mark is even making these anymore but I liked my RCA interconnects.

I have a couple of his cables and they sound very good.
Pretty sure he doesn't do these any more.
The only "complaint" I would m make is that depending on what model you've got, they can have rather large plugs which don't fit all systems.
And they can be rather "delicate", as I've had a couple that needed re-terminating.
PS. Which I should add, were done free of charge, even though they were secondhand!

I've used the Katipo and Komako for quite a few years,only recently selling most of them .Still have one Komkako pair which I had to repair.The Komako's are more open/cleaner/detailed sounding than the cheaper Katipos, which are still great cables.
The large plugs and long heatshrink/protection behind the plugs are a pain though! Have gone to Supra EFF-ISL cables which are a bit less edgy in the treble,not quite as tight in the bass ( a bit fuller sounding). And better at bending behind my gear.So I can push the amp back further.
But certainly loved the Komkako's affect on the sound. Cables don't make a sound do they!

I've had a pair of Komako I bought off Mark ages ago which have remained in their box waiting for the day I needed them. I pulled them out recently for my new system ... and I can't fit plugs in! Was so looking forward to burning them in :-) I've had other Antipodes cables and really like them. Thought about putting the Komako back on the shelf for another decade... or next amp change ... which ever comes first.

I have just bought some second hand interconnects. Have even compared them with Nordost cables and both myself and a friend both thought the Antipodes went better in my system.

I have Komako and Katipo interconnects/digital cables, along with Chord Co Anthem. I prefer them to the Nordost Red Dawn cables I had previously. The Nordost were a little lean sounding in my system at the time, and had too big an influence on the sound. The Antipodes were somewhat similar - fast and revealing, but more balanced. Mark is a very cool guy to deal with too!

Thank you all for the comments. If anybody has some Antipodes RCA interconnects that are 2m or longer and are willing to sell I would be eager to purchase.
