"I recieved the anticables yesterday and was naturally pretty eager to try them. Well, shut the front door! I may have just solved my problem. As with any new cable/wire, the first 5 minutes were pretty unimpressive, but by the 1 hour mark I knew these were vastly better than my el cheapos, even though these are a huge bargan as well."
Have you tried putting the el-cheapos back on and testing if the sound quality goes down?
Sometimes it's just a matter of time, break-in time. As Wendell said, it isn't just how long it is played, but how many days (and temperature cycles) it has felt.
I heard similar things with breaking in my 1.6 and 3.6's, and I didn't change cables. The lows come in, which you hear, but less expected, some psychoacoustic effect makes the highs sound better too.
