Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Re: they're not a new idea...

I did find the bare wire iteration of the Anti-(speaker)cables to be a bit vague in imaging and would ultimately characterize them as restrained in flow, dynamic range, and soundstage. The speaker cables are still a great bargain, I recommend them, but wouldn't categorize them as a giant killer.

In one instance, I found 14awg speaker cables off the hardware store rack to best the Anti-Cables in sweetness, dimension and drive. This was the case with a Marantz 27 receiver, Entech 205.2 d/a converter, Sony 7700 transport, held together by Kimber PBJ interconnects and a Canare LV-077S digital cable. The Anti-Cables did give the music more confidence, but the balance in toto favored the hardware store solution. I also have to point out that this system was put together to counter each gear's obvious colorations.

This didn't happen with every tryout I gave The Paul Speltz Solution; I only tell this to point out that the Anti-Cables aren't successful in all installations.

I haven't heard the interconnects yet, but look forward to auditioning them in the future.
