I will only say that if you decide to go with the AlphaCore Goertz cables, PLEASE use a zobel network at the speakers whether you think you need them or not. I've gotten a few emails from people that were told that they did not need to use impedance compensaton networks by their dealer and ended up smoking their amps. One of those emails came from a friend of mine that is out of State. I had previously warned him about this aspect of performance when using these cables, so he was fully aware of the consequences. The dealer that he purchased the cables from didn't think that he would need them and now he has to replace all of the outputs on one channel of his amp.
Don't get me wrong, they are great cables and i love them, but i think that many of the people that don't like them and have had problems with them might have had VERY different results if they had simply installed the zobel's in the first place. The zobel's can not hurt you and may actually help. Many of the aftermarket "black boxes" that attach to speaker cables or are deemed "cable networks" are simply nothing more than a zobel in a fancy, expensive package. Sean
