Cables for Vandersteen 2 Ce Sig II

Thanks guys for the inputs and advice, much appreciated!

Actually, it is two equal lengths they're just jointed at
the amp end.

Unsound,

I do have these for a 30 day trial, you think I'll get
better sound with two seperate cables? I can send these
back and get one with spades and bananas at the amp end.
Thanks for equiping me with some valuable info.

One more question? Will I need the Zobel for my Belles 150A Ref amp which has an input imped of 100,000 Ohms? Just want to get what I need the first time since Goertz will put these on if requested. I'll appreciate any advice you can give before I return the biwire and get two seperate runs with spades and bananas on the amp end;)

Thanks guys for the responses, hopefully Audioquest have
a trial period so I can compare them to what I have. Do
they make the Alpha Core Goertz MI 2 also? This was a
friend personal choice. I've owned MIT cables for over
ten years after ditching my Transparent, Kimber, Maestro
and Cardas, which didn't sound well with my Thiels 2.3,
Classe CA100 Conrad Johnson PV12 and CAL DX-1 tansport and
the MH750 were fantastis but time has evidently changed
and I'll look into an audition.

I did go out on a limb when I purchased everything, didn't hear one component at a shop as I normally do, but
took advice from forums and it really worked out well.

Thanks again,
Wig

Does the recommendations above include interconnects as well since the Goertz seems to be a very popular choice for
the Vandies. Based on cost and performance which would you
buy, the AQ Diamondback or King Cobra as the best bang for the buck?

Thanks,
Wig;)

How different is the Transparent Plus IC compared to MIT and AQ?

Looking at a range of $200-$300 new or used.

Guys,

Received my Bi-wire MI2 Goertz speaker cable today and WOW! They are one a few hour old and my MIT S3's do not
even come close. The Vandies are detailed, open and the image is more focused and the soundstage is easily discernable. The S3's seems to have a more forward midrange, almost buble like in comparison. I imagine the MI2 will only get better in time. Very impressed, just can't wait to receive the AQ Columbia's and see how they
compare up to the S3 interconnects.

Guys,

I have had the MI2 Goertz in my system a litle over two weeks now and was wondering what would be the next step up in speaker wire. They are clearly better than my MIT S3.

Also, I'm trying out two pairs of AQ Columbia's but don't believe they provide that synergy that I'm looking for. Imaging and sound are nicely placed behind the speakers verses the S3 IC which are more forward and higher in a sense.

I could live the MI2 but would the MI3 or AG1 be a better option? At this point the IC are my prime interest and would love to hear more recommendations for my set up.

Any interconnect suggestion?

Do they have a return policy and where can I read about them and order?

Thanks,
Wig

Thanks,

The AQ CV-8 are next on my list of wires to try!

I think I'm keeping the MI2 but how do I open up the spades at the speaker end since there not completely sitting flush under the binding post?
