Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question.

HI, just purchased an used pair of merlin vsm mme,replaced my Von swheikert VR3, my Question is, why cardas cables are so critical for this speakers, had cardas cables before, speakers and interconnect, and heated the sound of those cables, very muddy and slow, bass all over the place,coulnt'pull them out fas enough,
my preamp is joulet electra 150mk11, and I'm really scare to spend $3000,or more on used cardas GR,cables,now I'm using KCI silk worm with analysis solo cristal I/C, sounds good, but a little thin, great midrange, but not full body sound, that I'm acustom to, what will cardas bring to the table , in this situation.

your coments wil be apreciated;

thanks:

Cheers:

Wow, I'think I'opened a can of worm here, will follow Bobby's advice, after all he was the one who recommended the MMe to me a few months ago, very skeptical must admit, but will take the plunge,and get some cardas GR speaker cables, and one set of interconnect first,and if get satisfactory sound will follow up with two more sets for the Bam, and DAC, Silkworm sounds preatty good from DAC to preamp, but not from pre to amp, very thin and bleached out sound, phenomenal soundstage and immaging,
this speakers scared the crap out of me when firt played a
track of (Jacques Loussier)Plays Bach, never heared clarity
and coherency the way this speakers portrays it,
if I'can get them to sound a little fuller will be very happy with them:

will follow Bobbys's advice, not just because he is the designer, but because those speakers, managed to win over 60 best of show, witch is no easy feast, using recomended cabling, will be foolish not to follow thru with recomendation:

Agreed with masilo, all cardas GR",takes alot out this speakers, had all cardas in my set up, just made a small speaker sound big, replaced one of the cardas, from Bam to preamp, Huge diference, better focus, bigger stage, and richer sound, immaging, out of this world,
Silk Worm+, and Omega MIcro 900 on the transport, was the icing on the cake, was thinking about selling speakers, or purchase a new Amp, I'm set now, in an all tube set up, all cardas, kills the sound of this speakers,
if just one good cable where used at the Shows,
probably would won 90 best of show, intead of 70,

My humble oppinion:

Cheers:
