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

I think they'll work nicely with your Vandersteens.

I can't offer the same recommendation for the Alph-Core interconnects that I do for the speaker cables.

Glad your happy, but, two equal seperate runs might even be better.

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.

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.

Sorry no. I've only heard your electronics a few times at shows.

I believe Alpha-Core offers two different sized spades.
