I believe I have the Veracity speaker cables from Goertz which I ordered directly from them over the phone. Again, I start at the beginning and go up the food chains from there.
I had bananas on both ends which were a nice tight fit on the 3.5's - some of the other brands I've used tended to fall out of the connects on the speakers which I find is more a design flaw in their placement than it is the cables fault. (Remember, the speaker connects are on the bottom of the cabinets and one has to go through that small tunnel to make the connection.)
I know later models up the line have the speaker connects on the back of the cabinet which IMHO is a far better placement.
The Veracity line is about as wide as a piece of standard masking tape and as thin as anything I've thus far used. They require a little more effort in running them so as not to bend them drastically, other than that it's as simple as any other.
As Thiel owners know in advance, Thiels reveal. EVERYTHING in the chain. The Goertz let everything through favoring the mids and highs, but the highs were never harsh. In fact, the upper end sonics is what I find most appealing about Thiel in general. Writing this, I am tempted to return the Goertz cables just to see if what I thought holds water after switching them out.
The only thing I've heard, and through my guys at Audio Den, is that some people have suffered damaging their speakers due to current overload? Or something? I'll re-ask the question to them later this week when I'm in the store - they've expanded their LP "department" so I've been going there more often. The only cables I have not switched over to Transparent are the cables on my Marantz T-15 turnable which are hardwired into the unit.
As I've said before my vinyl sounds fantastic on my current setup. I may switch out the Primare R32 phono preamp with a MF unit, one of those small phono preamps that I've had laying around forever, just to see if it's the Primare's impact. While my CD and server components sound good, the vinyl trumps them indeed. Just...better.
