Cables for Vandersteen 2 Ce Sig II

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;)

The silver spades seem to be prefered terminations. I really don't know what would be better in your case. Resale would probably be easier with completely seperate runs/terminations. I prefer the seperate outboard RC networks (Zobels), and yes, I would use them with your ss amp. BTW, I don't think you'll hear much change, the Goertz cables don't take much break in.

Guys,

I have had the MI2 Goertz in my system a litle over two weeks now and was wondering what would be the next step up in speaker wire. They are clearly better than my MIT S3.

Also, I'm trying out two pairs of AQ Columbia's but don't believe they provide that synergy that I'm looking for. Imaging and sound are nicely placed behind the speakers verses the S3 IC which are more forward and higher in a sense.

I could live the MI2 but would the MI3 or AG1 be a better option? At this point the IC are my prime interest and would love to hear more recommendations for my set up.

The only other Alpha-Core Goertz speaker cable option I would consider is the AG2's. Of course they are considerably more expensive and you might not like them as much. As you know Alpha-Core will offer a free trial. Considering the rest of your gear, I think the extra money might be better spent elsewhere. The MI2's are probably the best Alpha-Core's for your system.
