Anyone have any experience with Goertz Alpha Core speaker cables? What were your impressions?

Thanks.

    You mean the laminated, solid conductor type?

    EDIT: Nordost uses a similar idea and I didn't like them at all. I've used the Solar Wind and Red Dawn in IC's. The other brand Goertz reminds me of is Anti-Cables and they didn't work well for me either.

    Find a pair used, try 'em out....I would.

    I became interested in these cables when I visited the Goertz website to learn more about the technology behind their inductors which are found in my new speakers. I'll give them a try.

    In regards to the use as an inductor, I'm sure they're at least as good as other high end inductors.

    Got the Goertz MI-2 6 ft. cables today, but the spades didn't fit onto my int. amp. (Note to self: Always buy bananas.)

    I guess I'll hold onto my AQ Bedrocks a little while longer.
