Cables for Vandersteen 2 Ce Sig II

Guys,

I purchased MIT S3 Bi-wire, and 2 pair of S3 interconnects
for my Belles 150A Ref, Belles 21A pre and Rega Apollo.
I've been hearing that these cables do not match well on
the Vandies. I don't have the luxury to go to a dealer to
hear them for myself being overseas in the military. I'd
love to hear some options if these cables are a limiting
factor.

Thanks,
Wig

Guys,

Received my Bi-wire MI2 Goertz speaker cable today and WOW! They are one a few hour old and my MIT S3's do not
even come close. The Vandies are detailed, open and the image is more focused and the soundstage is easily discernable. The S3's seems to have a more forward midrange, almost buble like in comparison. I imagine the MI2 will only get better in time. Very impressed, just can't wait to receive the AQ Columbia's and see how they
compare up to the S3 interconnects.

Glad your happy, but, two equal seperate runs might even be better.

Actually, it is two equal lengths they're just jointed at
the amp end.

Unsound,

I do have these for a 30 day trial, you think I'll get
better sound with two seperate cables? I can send these
back and get one with spades and bananas at the amp end.
Thanks for equiping me with some valuable info.

One more question? Will I need the Zobel for my Belles 150A Ref amp which has an input imped of 100,000 Ohms? Just want to get what I need the first time since Goertz will put these on if requested. I'll appreciate any advice you can give before I return the biwire and get two seperate runs with spades and bananas on the amp end;)
