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

MIT matches up quite well in my opinion. The Shotgun S3 is a fine cable and will bring many years of enjoyment.
(I am an MIT dealer, but not Vandy or Belles) Of all the different cables I sell, MIT would be my first recommendation for Vandersteen.

IMHO Vandies love Audioquest cables. I believe Richard Vandersteen voices his speakers with Audioquest cables. One of the finest sounds I have heard recently came from a Quatro/Kilimanjaro/MXR setup. But I've heard the 2 Ces sound great with Audioquest's copper series like the Volcano or Mont Blanc.

I'd love to hear Vandys with Audioquest's new Meteor cables

"I've been hearing that these cables do not match well on

If you like the sound you're getting, sleep well, and thank you for serving our country!

I had a great match with kimber 8tc and 4tc.
Personally, I'm a huge Apature fan.

I agree with Khrys. I owned 3A sigs and used Volcano's (Mont Blanc sounds the same as Volcano but smaller). I had Sky but would recommend Colorado with your SS gear in fact if I had it to do again I'd get Colorado!
