Goertz MI2 with Sim I-5

Glad to hear it. Hope you like the cables. Keep in mind that if they have the factory terminated silver spades on them, you will need to clean them once in a while. They do oxidize, but silver oxide is conductive. Not a big deal, but something to check out once in a while. Sean

I have MI2 also and will be teying it with a Perreaux 2150B amp. Does anyone think I may need the Zobel network also? I received a pair or wires that may be needed (so says Goetz) on the amp. Any comments?

Yes, you will need the zobels with the Perreaux or it will cook itself to death. Good luck and please respond back with your results. I'd be curious to see which you like better. Sean

I just recently tried an old pair of Goertz thin speaker silver foil wires.

This has been the best sound yet after months of speaker wire trials and DIY attempts.

Now I am reading abot amplifier occilations and over heating.

My wires were pre zoebel networks(but I have Walker Hi def links laying around if needed)and I use a DEcware SET Zen Select( A great amp BTW), sofar no oscilations or excessive heat, but I'll pay closer attention from now on.

What I will say is that I listened longer today with these wires on my speakers than I have with the other speaker wires I was using.
After a five hour session no tubes blew and no thermal meltdown.

As far as I know, tube amps don't usually need the zobels,
