Electrostatic speaker cables...

I just read SoundLabs white paper on electrostatic speaker cables. It recommends low inductance AND low capacitance for a speaker cable, along with a medium impedence.

I own a pair of Martin Logan Aerius i, and am looking for upgrade suggestions: I'm powering them with a VTL IT 85, and right now, am using MIT Terminator4 cables. I would like to find a cable that fits the above suggestions that is also biwired.

Any recommendations? Obviously, SoundLab's own cables would be one idea, but I wouldn't be able to audition them. I'm planning on loaning a bunch of cables from fatwyre.com...

Thanks..

I own ML Requests and Krell electronics. I use Pure Note Epsilon Ref. Speaker cables, they have no cap. and low inductance. These were some of the few cables that sound real on my system. I tried Silversmith but they were too bright.

I own ML monoliths and have tried several cables. My favorite has been Audioquest Clear (no longer available new--but you can find it on the used market). In my opinion these were some of the best speaker cables made, although I have not tried everything and have only tried Purists interconnects--so I can not comment on their speaker cables.

InnerSound makes good high performance, reasonably priced speaker cables designed specifically for electrostatic speakers. I use them on my Eros system with great results.

I have had good results with alphacore MI2 biwire cables between an EAD powermaster 2000 and ML quest z's.

If I'm not mistaken, InnerSound offers a 30 day trial period on their speaker cables, and you can return them if you don't like them. You might want to email them to be sure. Super nice folks to deal with ... Here's the email address:
