which Alpha Core MI2 is the one to buy?
Ditto Ligi - the MI 2's are the best I've had, perfect explanation by Sean. 
Goertz MI2 and amp oscillation
Just another note on goertz networks - use them! My amp was idleing last night and when I went downstairs to shut down I noticed it was fairly hot, like it is when I use it for an extended time or my Thiels put it to task. I checked connections an... 
Goertz MI2 and amp oscillation
I haven't noticed any difference at all - I've listened to them both ways they sound great. 
What percent of your system cost is for cables?
Wow, only 16% unless I count all the extras laying around... 
Goertz MI2 and amp oscillation
They shut my classe ca200 off out of the blue - I say that because it ran for weeks with no trouble and I switched out some cables and when I put the goertz back in I forgot to put in the rc link and one day it shut down the amp - have since reins... 
SIlver Cable Experiences?
Silver works in my system, I use Kimber kcag and kctg. Smooth and extremely transparant. I've never used silver speaker cables. My system prob. leans towards warm with a tube cj preamp - I like copper too, however, silver in the right system is so... 
Looking for additional cable ideas...
Another vote for Goertz MI 2's, I did a home audition and never sent them back. They have a coherence from top to bottom that is beautiful in my system. I am using between Classe amp and Thiel 3.6's, they add a slight bloom, or richness, but with ... 
ATTN: Kimber Select Owners
How do the selects sound versus kcag or kctg? anyone done a direct comparison?

Best used DAC 500 or less, need help
Check out a Meridian 263 or 563. You can get the first for well under 500 - just as important is the cable. Illuminati D60 is excellent and used by many but there are other good ones to... 
Suggested Cables for McCormack DNA-2 to Thiel CS6s
Bundy, I have classe ca200 to 3.6's and currently using alpha core goertz M 2's. They are copper and are heads and shoulders above kimber 8tc, MIT 750, and coincident in my system. 
Need recommendations on cables?
Lcat,before I take the time to demo the cables you mentioned, please tell me what a modern cable sounds like. In my system the alpha core goertz offers clarity, transparancy, a terrific smoothness and for me balance - that transcends time for me. ... 
Need recommendations on cables?
I agree with SDCampbell - I own both and when I put goertz M-2's between Classe and Thiel I truely believe I'm done for a long time with speaker cables... 
Substitute for a Conrad-Johnson Premier 3 preamp
I agree - get a premier 14 - it's a great preamp. 
Tube pre-amp with SS Classe Amp
I'm using a CJ premier 14 with Mullard tubes and a ca200 and the combo is very satisfying, using thiel 3.6's. Classe and CJ are a good combo - lots of dealers carry both lines.
