Alpha Core Goertz MI 2 upgrade

Hello,

I recently purchased the Tyler Sig's speakers here on Agon.
I'm powering these with a Manley Stingray in the triode mode and my ic's are AZ Silver Ref. II.
The MI 2's sound very good-especially for the money.
So why this thread?
As always with this crazy hobby, I'm wondering if I can step it up a notch.
The AZ ic's are staying as is the Stingray.
Cdp is a Cary 303/100, which I also like very much.
As I said, the MI 2's sound good, but I'm wondering if any of you out there had these cables and upgraded to something better-more dynamics, air, soundstage, bottom end impact etc.
Run length is 12 ft. biwire.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Mtrot, that was highly recommended to me by Alpha Core and I would like to try that myself sometime. It could provide the best of both worlds in reference to each cables sonic qualities.

I have even used Alpha-Core AG-1 on top, and MI-3 on the bottom with fine results, despite the differences between the gauges, and between silver and copper. Depended on particular amp, speaker, and ears of the beholder.

Mtrot, I really don't know. I'd suggest asking Alpha-Core. They have a very generous trial period and I have always found them to be very cooperative.

Thanks Unsound and Listener57,

Before I do anything, I need to check into how my connections need to be. (I already have one set of MI-2 with bananas on both ends that I could use for the HF posts)

And, boy, that MI-3 is more than twice the price of the MI-2!

Yeah, the pricing is a little weird. Put me off a little at first. I can't help but wonder if it's just based on a different market segment.
