Vandersteen 2Ce Sig 2's with Alpha Core AG-1 wire

I have a pair of Signature II that I run with
my Jolida JD-502 and run bi-wire MI-2's. The
sound is wonderful. I have 7' runs and it is
not lean at all. The sound is full and open.

how much is the alpha core?

Why would you bother with anything else when Anti-Cables is so neutral, transparent, and inexpensive. I'm using it for all my cables after extensive listening tests with as many top shelf cables I could borrow. Only Audioquest Silver (Sky/Everest) are in the same league, but very much more expensive. That is my take on my system. You should audition for your own satisfaction.

When I got my Sig IIs, I had a single run of Cardas Neutral Reference with a jumper made of POS 12-gauge wire. Although I mostly enjoyed the sound, I was bothered by a veiled quality of voices and acoustic instruments. After a failed Ebay attempt to get a second run of Cardas, I lucked into a good deal on two used pairs of Ayre cables. Made a tremedous improvement on the midrange and I've been very happy with my system ever since. Stringreen, I considered the Anti-cables, but the user reviews are mixed so I decided to go with, for me, a known quantity.

Stringreen,
The Alpha-Core MI copper series is a lot less expensive than the Alpha-Core silver AG series, and all in all a better comparison to the Anti-Cables in materials and price. In as much as these brands differ, they have much in common.
I suspect that with most amplifiers used with Vandersteens the MI 2 and AG 2 would probably be the best match. I would recommend two seperate identical runs terminated with Alpha-Core's silver spades when possible and absolutely recommend the use of Alpha-Core's RC networks. The Alpha-Core web site offers a guide based on amplifier power and length of runs. They also offer a generous free trial period.
