Cables for Thiel CS6


I just bought my pair of Thiel. I'll be grateful for suggestions on which cables fit them best. The rest of the chain is Teac10 + external ADI converter +ARC Sp11 and VT100MKII with Transparent Ultra and reference XL series. My original thought was to go for Transparent Ultra XL, but I'd like to listen to you.
Thanks
Marco

I have tried Goertz M1 AG just today. I'm not impressed. Very cool and "HiFi". Especially Voices do not have the right soul. I do not think it is the right match.
I tried The Cardas GR. Good overall. The only think I'm missing is air around instruments and still Female voices too dry. Any experience with MIT or Transparent around this?
I tried a 10 Ft Transparent Super Bicable and they sound absolutely great. I miss a bit of control on the very low bass and I sense they are a bit aggressive. But now we can talk about music...I will keep youposted on the next steps.
I would love to try The HT Prosiway 9s but it is difficult to find them in my country (Italy).
Lez,
thanks for your very detailed history that help more than a bit.
As a CS6 expert what are the amlifiers you tried out? I have been told from many sources that Thiel are avid of power.. I'm looking for the right cable but I do not have the feeling that the 100W of my ARC Vt100 are not working. In the opposite way in my room, that is small, I have very very good resolution at low levels I'm not sure I would get from a SS amplifier. Very interested to know your feeling on that one. In one week from now I will have other cables to try out and will post my impression.
Some updates. I tried the Gamut D200. I have not been impressed especially for bass (lack of) performance. POwer surely not enough. My Vt100 is much better. I Will keep you posted on the next steps.
Thank you all for your suggestions. I found the best set up to be ML 333 and MIT770 reference cables. That's how I'm playing now and I think I'm done about power and cords. NExt step will probably be to try an ARC reference to see if it will overtake my beloved SP11MKII.
