No, the Goertz will not smooth out for you anymore than they already have. I have the MI3. In addition to the Cardas you are already trying I recommend that you check out Tara Labs and JPS Labs. I have some Tara Labs cables coiled up on the floor. They sound fine, smooth and all that, it just isn't where I prefer to go with my system.
Goertz MI2 Python...bright???
I've been looking for some detailed yet smooth speaker cables for my Paradigm Studio 100s (which are forward in my set-up). The best so far is Cardas Quadlink, but some detail is missing. So I'm auditioning Analysis Plus Oval 12s (nice so far) and Alpha-Core Goertz Python (MI2)...My findings and questions:
-- The Oval 12s are more forgiving than the Oval 9s (which I auditioned and returned), but sort of lack excitement (maybe a good thing for a change...).
-- The Pythons, which claim NO burn-in time, sound forward to me, but very detailed.
Obviously, I want both detail and smoothness. Has anyone found that the Goertz cables actually do change over time (smooth out)? I like the construction and the look of them (I want to like the SOUND), so any feedback re: Goertz or any other cables would be appreciated. Thanks!
