HI FI Review (Sept 2001)
"Best Buy of The Year 2001 Awards" for Micro Purl Silver AG2K |
| The
Absolute Sound I put the AG2 silver cable into my system and my jaw dropped (the Goertz cables need very little break in) and my critical faculties reeled. Could any speaker cable really be this good? Immediately I set about obtaining other cables for comparison, including examples from Nordost, Cardas, Transparent, MIT, StraightWire, BEL and Audience Konductor. At one point I had 12 different types of speaker cables, all competing for my attention. I tried them all with several speakers, from the Genesis 200s to, most recently the Hales Transcedence Ones, with several others in between, and with a number of both tube and solid state amplifiers. The Alpha-Core cables worked their wonders everywhere, no matter what amps and speakers I used them with. The ability of these cables to recreate a sense of depth and space is exceeded by none that I evaluated. Giving such an unqualified rave makes me uncomfortable; we're supposed to be able to find some of the (inevitable) shortcomings in everything we review .....But at this very moment, I don't see how this cable can be bested. The Absolute Sound, Roman Zajcew, July/August 1998 The Audiophile Voice This Goertz Center Stage speaker wire is more than just another open-sounding wire. It is without any signature of its own and is profoundly quiet. It carries the musical signal along in a relaxed, yet open and detailed manner. Listener fatigue, at least for me, was extremely low for this wire, and I really don't feel there were any sonic compromises with the Goertz Center Stage wire. Due to its balanced, open sound you should be able to fit it into a wide variety of playback systems without any sense that it is there at all. The Goertz Center Stage speaker wire from Alpha-Core appears to me to be a benchmark design with a totally unobtrusive sound. While it is not inexpensive to put into a system, especially one which requires a tri-wire harness as mine does, you will never have any doubts about the resulting sound quality of the system cabling.

| "One of the very best
speaker cables I've ever experienced. Alpha-Core's Goertz speaker cables and interconnects
resolves all information in very high and low frequencies. Goertz creates another layer of
absolute silence in a system. The flat low inductance design provides a deep sound stage
that is wide, fast, and immediate." Dan D'Agostino, President Krell Industries Even after 30 plus years in high end audio, both personally and professionally, I was totally unprepared for the improvements that ocurred when I inserted Alpha-Core's interconnects and then their speaker cables into my system. All, and I do mean all, performance aspects cranked up a notch. Analogue-like dynamics from CD, seamless top-to-bottom smoothness, 3-D imaging, dead silent background... these cables took care of problems I either attributed to something else or did'nt know I had. Most apparent is a startling transparency that allows me to listen, without effort, to any element in the mix at will. Ed Osborne, Executive Producer BMG Special Products
July 6, 2003 I just wanted to let you know that I have really been enjoying my new MI 2 Veracity speaker cables. I am using a 12’ pair terminated with rhodium-plated banana plugs. As an experiment, I performed an A/B comparison between the MI 2 and the 12’ pair of audiophile speaker cables I had been using previously. Based on this test, I have concluded that the MI 2 cables definitely make an audible improvement in the system. In fact, the aspect of the reproduced sound that impressed me the most was the midrange clarity. Female vocals are extremely realistic, smooth, and liquid sounding. For example, listening to Madonna’s "Don’t Cry for Me Argentina" from the Evita soundtrack, her voice was convincingly reproduced in three-dimensional space; it was clean, clear, and articulate. The best analogy I can use is that the recording played back through the MI 2 cables was like pouring water out of a bucket, whereas the same recording played back through my old cables was like pouring sand out of a bucket. IN addition to the greater midrange presence, I also noticed that the MI 2 cable conveyed more of the room acoustics of the recording environment. Furthermore, bass frequencies were tight and well-controlled, while the treble was smooth and extended without sounding harsh or brittle. Finally, imaging was excellent, with the location of the individual instruments being clearly well defined. In short, the MI 2 cable provides greater clarity and resolution of detail; the sound is more dynamic and involving than that from any other speaker cable I have used. As a young engineer, I am gratified that sound transmission line theory and engineering practices has resulted in a truly remarkable product that is beautiful in both form and function. I look forward to many years of rewarding listening. Thank you, Steven Herrera
April 2, 2003 After years of buying, evaluating, trading, and tweaking I have finally arrived at a place where the acquisition of software will be my primary focus for a while. I have a "live room" and very good to excellent, analogue and digital front ends. I have CJ tube electronics and Montana speakers. The final selection of cabling and system synergy was the last and perhaps the most difficult task. The TQ2 I/C’s were an easy call. I spoke with your technical service person that provided "real" consultation. He listened and encouraged the audition of several cables and explained the Alpha-Core’s return policy. I now have the appropriate length TQ2’s cabling between all of my important components. The costs were so reasonable that I kept everything. What I didn’t use in my audio system, I made use of in my home theater rig. Along the way I seem to have made some friends. To think it would be impossible not to like Dawn. She is wonderful! When I called her for speaker cables, she even remembered by name! My speaker manufacturer recommends Biwiring. Naturally I was skeptical and used jumpers. Wrong! To make a long story shorter, I wound up with AG2’s on the top terminals and MI2’s on the bottom (they work perfectly together.) For a while I felt like "Goldilocks with the porridge thing". With the help of some friends I tried MI1’s, MI2’s, MI3’s all in combination with AG2’s. After the exercise I am now a believer in balancing resistance, capacitance, and inductiveness and the way those factors ultimately affect timing and the sound of your speakers. The base is powerful and provides substance and weight to my music. The mid range is liquid and very coherent. The treble is extended and highly detailed. Amazing! In my business, when I talk with new clients and the subject of cost comes up, some clients insist on the lowest price. I usually explain the Price-Service-Product triangle. I invite them to pick two. Doesn’t matter which two. I do this because I know from experience that it is impossible to provide a high quality product, excellent customer service, and the lowest price. I am always reluctant to believe anyone who tells me they can provide all of those things. Business doesn’t seem to work that way. Somehow Alpha-Core has managed amend this concept. The products are great by any standards (that I know of). The costs are very reasonable considering the competition. The big surprise is/was of the service. Very fast, very pleasant., and NO MISTAKES. Thank you, Dawn! Best Regards, Tom Jenkins Medford, New Jersey
J uly 3, 2000I received the MI 1 cables on Friday. These cables are wonderful. They are open and seem to give the signal a sparkle. I am converted! These are the only cables I choose to use from here on. I look forward to purchasing some interconnects in the future. Thank you very much. Phillip Cullen, Columbus, GA
June 6, 2000 To whom it may concern: I have had the pleasure of using a bi-wired pair of the Alpha-Core MI 2 Veracity loudspeaker cables for the past couple of months. I did extensive research on loudspeaker cables prior to deciding on the Veracity. And then I took advantage of your generous three-week auditioning period. Having them part of my system has been a revelation. What I first noticed – and with a blind a/b test, at that – was a marked improvement in the bass and lower mid-range. Then, with many familiar recordings over a long weekend, I found that the soundstage was somehow clearer and I could "see farther into it. Things sounded better overall, with much improved resolution. I am enjoying music anew. In short, I am very pleased by my purchase and wanted to say thank you to the engineers and techies that have made such fine cables a reality. I also want to say a word about your sales staff who, throughout the entire process, were helpful, informative, and represented your company well. They are nearly as impressive as your cables! Thank you again. I look forward to many years of happy listening with your well-crafted product. Sincerely, Craig H. Kinsley, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Neuroscience Richmond, VA
March 13, 2000 To my great surprise, the silver Micro Purl excel so well as a Digital Interconnect that there is no reason to spend much more for a Kimber AGDL for $400. It is the best I have tried so far and I am certain that it beats anything out there including Nordost, and that is saying a lot for what it can do, I am keeping the 2 meter for this purpose. Spread the word and you put the competitors out of business. Sincerely, Peter Serrano, Los Angeles, CA
April 25, 2000 Dear Alphacore, My name is Charles Wuest and I have recently purchase a 16’ bi-wired MI 1 OFC speaker cables as recommended by my friend Kenneth E Ziem of New Haven, CT and I am so glad I took his advice because the sound quality is incredible. It is a giant leap of my older solid core round cables. A whole new level of listening experience has opened up to me. Thank you, AlphaCore Sincerely, Charles Wuest
May 25, 2000 I just purchased and installed a pair of your Micro Purl interconnects between my pre-amp and amplifier. What did I have to lose with your three-week full refund offer? NO WAY are you getting these cables back! They have only been in my system for 24 hours and I simply cannot believe the improvements in bass, reduction of midrange glare and clean accurate highs. Acoustic bass, vocals, cymbal shimmer is so impressive I’m awestruck. I should also mention that the cables previously in the system cost three times more than the Micro Purls! Hearing is believing and there is no doubt that your cables are far superior to anything I have tried in my system before. Thank you for a superb product. Dean Zolubos, Methuen, MA
June 5, 2000 To whom it may concern, My name is Francis King. I am owner and operator of F.A.A. Sound Technologies, a high-end audio speaker manufacturer. I recently had the chance to try your coils and I was impressed, to say the least and I will continue to purchase and use them in manufacturing my products. Thank you, Francis King, Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada
April 24, 2000 Hello, I recently put your silver interconnect cables on my system. The improvement was so marked that I decided to try the silver speaker cables. I really wanted them not to make much difference because I really didn’t want to spend an extra $400.00 right now. I picked them up from UPS earlier today. I guess I just spent that money. The difference (I was using garden hose sized Monster bi wire) is so apparent, even before you break-in, that I have to keep them. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with your product. I am a member (new) of the CT Audio Society, and you can be sure I will tell everyone. Thank you very much for the improvement in my system. Michael Guteman, West Haven, CT
March 7, 2000 Dear Mr. Poulsen: I feel compelled, for the first time in my 77 years, to write in gratitude and appreciation for several hours of pleasure you and your company have been responsible for. Music is a central element in my life and although I have good playback equipment, I have been unhappy since the CD era began with equipment, which seemed all right for LP playback. A little over two weeks ago, there was a modest ad in the daily New York Times which was written in non-advertisingese, was unambiguous in its direct statements about product characteristics and performance and totally self-assured in guaranteeing a major improvement in the quality of playback when these products were installed. The products were speaker cables and interconnect cables. Those I had been using were high quality, but in view of the strength of the advertising claims and the guarantee that if there not a dramatic increase in playback performance, money would be immediately refunded, I called and ordered several sets given the nature of my audio installation. There were some small problems on delivery - the length was not long enough and I called and was surprised at the kindness and concern your people showed me, promising to send new cables at no cost to me immediately. I have now installed all the cables and have listened to my system with something bordering on disbelief. The across-the-board improvement is astonishing - low end, mid range and high end. It is truly the first time – and I have a collection of over 500 Cs – that there has been pin-point stereo placement, hardly ever found in CDs, astonishing purity (absence of any and all extraneous noise) and, for the first time, the absence of the shrillness (particularly string stridency). You and your people are a remarkable company in terms of extraordinary quality of your products – but also the extraordinary way you do business. Although the cables are expensive, they are more than worth every cent. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Rudo S. Globus, Ph.D.
January 27, 2000 Dear folks at Alpha-Core, Micro purl silvers came today as did my Quicksilver 8417 modifications (now using EL34s). Midpriced Transparent interconnects between the CD player and the preamp and the Micro Purls between preamp and amps. Tested one side with radio shack and the other side with yours. Well, one quick listen and that was it. Back on went the Micro Purls. The whole frequency range was there and with detail like I have never heard. I got imaging out of my speakers where I had never gotten it before… and the speakers are stuck in between cabinets. Wait until I move them. Quiet? Just empty space in between passages. There had always been some noise. Now NOTHING. You made a believer out of me. I listened to the same old music collection for six hours and it sounded completely different. Great product and I’ll be coming for more. Carl Mabee,
November 23, 1997 Re: The sonic results of your cables The micropurls are truly excellent. They easily trounce cables many times their very reasonable costs – I have some 1m RCA’s that I thought were very good, that are $600 a pair. The micropurls are so clear and open, so lacking in a sound of their own that substituting other cables in their place results in an obvious increase in system color, recordings that are clearly different in Sonics sound more alike (because of cable coloration’s) when the micropurls are swapped out for other high-end cables I’ve tried. Another nice thing: the micropurls are very flexible, and do not cause strain like thick cables. And they are very reasonably priced. Choosing them over competitor’s cables is a no-brainer. The speaker cables are utterly amazing. As with the micropurls, when substituting the Goertz cables with other high-end cables I’ve tried, the result is an increase in system color, a loss of clarity, and a tendency for different recordings to sound the same. Sometimes, other cables have a ‘nice’ euphonic quality, and I suspect most audiophiles are so conditioned to such euphony that the openness, clarity and lack of color of the Goertz cables will be a shock. At first, they may even crave to go back to the coloration’s and euphonic perspectives other cables impose, but the freeing of recordings from the imprisonment of cable coloration’s I truly exhilarating. The copper version of these products is wonderful, and affordable. I would say that before using products, I never knew how good my ARC Ref units and other system components really were. With products as good as your cables are, I cannot fathom how you could significantly improve on them. And that could be a real marketing dilemma in a world where newer is better. What will you market the coming years? :) Thanks, Jeff Bernhard, Fort Lauderdale, FL
August 17, 1999 My audio research reference thermionics have never sounded so good! I as well have braved the barren wasteland of cable mediocrity, only to have reaped the bitter sonic spoilage of the mass marketed voodoo concoctions so eagerly offered up by the local Temples of Audiocrity. Many thousands of dollars later, I have been released from twisted pair bondage. There is a silver lining for the weak, the tired and the befuddled masses. It takes the form of Goertz cables from Alpha-Core. My digititis was instantly cured, my midrange was degrained, the highs were etherealized and my bottom end underwent a reformation I thought would require years of intense Gizmological training to accomplish! Analog sound from CD’s, but without any of the drawbacks of LP tweakiosity. Thank you for the info and revelation synopsis of Alpha’s cables. By the way, I have a BAT VK-D5 with JAN amperex 7308 NOS tubes installed that appears to have silver circuit boards… is this in fact the truth? It sounds wonderful. So much like LP’s. I also use the NOS Amperex tubes in the ARC LS-25 preamp. The Goertz cables is revolutionary for those seeking to achieve a higher level of sonic purity and musical involvement from their audio system. May your Gizmological eccentricities remain forever constant. Dave Borda
August 16, 1999 I have been searching for the "Holy Grail" of cables for many years now, and to be honest with you, I thought the search to be a futile one? A quest destined to remain fruitless until such a time as a major quantum leap forward in cable technology and design would allow us audiophiles to reap the sonic splendor of our personal shrines to sonic nirvana. The Goertz cables are the "Holy Grail" so many of us frustrated audiophiles have been waiting for… they are the chosen cables; the cables which will lead us out of sonic bondage. No other cable: Transparent XL, Nordost SPM, MIT CVT-770 or anything else I have tried, has completely and utterly moved my "soul" as have the Goertz cables. Without these cables, component evaluations and purchases may as well be done with earplugs in…this stuff is terrific!!! Dave Borda,
June 2, 1999 I have tried many speaker cables in my system (i.e. Kimber 8TC, 4TC, Cardas hex Link, Monster cables, MIT’s) and found the MI 2 to be the best. What amazes me in these cables is the speed, clarity has bass response. Very transparent. Imtiaz Chhatriwala
May 13, 1999 These cables are GREAT. Klipsch La Scalas bi-wired, the music breathes. Very good value too. The Triode Quartz interconnects are excellent also. Les Lammers, Bagdad, Florida
May 7, 1999 These cables are fabulous! A worthwhile upgrade from the standard $5/m cables…..detail…lots of it……bass…quite good…. It’s imagery is very good for the price…I heard it in a shop with 15k worth of equipment…and it never sounded out of it’s class….only worry…is the cable may "kink"…thus grading sonic quality…a thus a little care is needed! Also check out its smaller brother the MI 1…perfect for a budget system… Chunk Ang , Singapore
April 28, 1999 To sum up, my odd custom set of 4M and 8M AlphaCore Goertz MI-2 makes my speakers deliver a 3D depth and potense I did not think was possible with my 10 years old B&W’s. Impressive indeed! Jan Kihle, Norway
March 30, 1999 I installed an 8’ set of MI-2 biwires with silver spades. They enhance everything from the bass to the highs. Bass is tighter, mids are more present, soundstage is fuller. Silence is actually SILENT!! If you have a really nice amp ( Aragon or better) RUN back to the store and put their solid silver interconnect between your pre and your amp, as long as you don’t have metal ribbon tweeters. This will add more clarity to the highs. The MI-2’s don’t hide the high end, but it sounds a tad relaxed to me – not "pushed" the way the $800 Synergistic Research cables made my system sound. They are not bright, but they are very clear. For the price ($400) they cannot be beat. I wish their solid silver cables were less costly, or that they made a silver plated model, like Nordost. I give them a solid 5 against anything that costs even 2 ½ times as much. If I had the bucks, I would go custom and get the MI-3’s as the bass cable, and a run of AG-2 for the highs, but that would cost 6 times as much. Drew, Piscataway, NJ
September 11, 1998 I switched from standard Monster speaker cables to the Goertz MI-2 coppers last year and was amazed at the improved clarity, sense of air, speed, accurate bass, and image focus (custom 12-ft lengths). I haven’t compared to other cables (except Monster’s), but some friends have and find this cable one of the best and certainly the BEST VALUE in speaker cable around for an accurate cable. My graduate physics study of transmission line systems also lends strong support to this flat parallel design as the lowest characteristic impedance on the marked (possibly explaining why it sounds so clean and fast). They also use very good connectors. Strongly recommend as a highly neutral, clean and accurate sounding cable! Bob L., Washington, DC
These are the most detailed and revealing copper speaker cables around. The bass goes deep, the highs are airy and light on their feet, and the mids smooth. I cannot recommend them enough. Forget about the MIT’s, Kimbers, DH Labs, etc… They will let every nuance of your systems pass right to your speaker. The only problem with that are bad components and recordings have nowhere to hide. But think of it this way…for a modest price you’ll never need to change them if you ever upgrade your system. These cables are so good that they will feel right at hone in a $50,000 system. I suggest you borrow one right away and listen for yourself… Jimmy C., NYC
December 4, 1999 Strengths: Fast clean, airy highs, tight clean bass, have the speed of silver without the graininess often associated with silver. Weakness: That lovely hint of warmth in the mids might be a tad euphonic. I’m really stretching to think of a weakness here. Similar products used: Nordost Quattrofil, SPM, Red Dawn; Cardas Golden Cross; many cheaper cables. Review summary: This is an excellent cable and an extremely good value compared to others on the market. Art Altman, San Carlos – Sapphire Interconnect
September 28, 1999 Simply some of the smoothest and clearest interconnects you are gonna hear. Highs are airy. Mids are smooth, liquid. Lows are tight. Compare these to any interconnect before you buy. I haven’t heard the very expensive Nordost SPM interconnects, but I have read that the Sapphires sound better. I paid $425 for a 1.0 meter and a 0.5 meter set of Sapphires, and I feel that they are worth every penny. Obviously you need good associated equipment to hear the difference. You may not hear the difference on a Radioshack Optimus rack system. My rig: B&W Matrix 804’s (If you haven’t heard "B&W sound", go out and hear some!) Llano A200-C power amp (incredible amp-llanodesign.com) Llano Concerto tube preamp (I love this preamp.) Rega Planet CD player (It will spoil you) Alpha-Core MI-2 bi-wire with silver spades (top notch cables at a terrific price) I highly recommend any of the components in my system. An Audiophile
August 19, 1999 I have been for a long time influenced by the audio magazines. This led me to many mistakes in the choice of my equipment, and cables. I bought many models of cables from NORDOST, and was always not happy, there was something missing. A friend of mine recommended me to try Goertz cables, and he gave me a pair of MI-2. Yes, it is simple. This cable was damn good for the price, but the irony is that Goertz was cheaper than my existing cables, and by the way it seems that this cable has not good reviews in almost every audio magazine, hey NORDOST looks nice, good for decoration!!! An Audio Enthusiast
August 19, 1999 Very neutral speaker cables at a very reasonable price ($171.50 for a 6’ pair). You can easily order direct from Alpha-Core with a 30-day trial period. Their web site ( http://www.alphacore.com/) has extensive useful information. Since the manufacturer of my speakers (B&W 803 Nautilus) suggests a low impedance speaker cable, I became interested in the Goertz MI-2, 10 gauge copper version; the 9 gauge is $1,005)! They are absolutely great sounding. And if you like the look of copper, they are beautiful too.The bi-wiring story: Since I didn’t believe in bi-wiring (I don’t really share the cable fetish) I simply ordered a single pair. Once I had completed several comparisons with what had been my standard cable, and it was clear the Goertz was a much better match (very uncolored, very musical), I followed the recommendation of my new speaker’s manufacturer, and gave bi-wiring a try. So, I set up Goertz on one channel and my then current wire on the other (obviously not the best comparison). The result was bizarre – the bi-wired side no only sounded worse than my usual wire but also worse than a single set of the Goertz (this was confirmed by my wife who had been bribed to be a part of this experiment). I didn’t understand why this should be but decided to keep the Goertz and use the single pair. As I was detaching the cables I noticed that the bottom set had become disconnected, so there really wasn’t any bass playing. After re-connecting the bottom set it was immediately clear that the bi-wired speaker sounded wonderfully coherent and natural. I exchanged the single pair for a bi-wire pair (an even bigger bargain at $319). For those who are concerned with such things, the two wires are separate but are joined into a single left and right connector at the amplifier side. While I like to keep them nested, you can certainly separate them up to the amplifier side if you feel it will give you better sound. My advice: if the manufacturer’s manual suggest bi-wiring (versus not suggesting it but including the option on the speaker, perhaps because this is perceived to be a hi-end option), give it a try without paying for the experiment. Philip Lemanche,
August 13, 1999 After spending 25+ years as an audiophile; owning more gear than most people ever dream about, it never ceases to amaze me at the number of people who attempt to simply justify their choice of components. I have recently assembled the latest, greatest equipment available those suites my tastes…but it took me a very long time and a lot of money to find the correct synergy of components. The biggest problem is that most reviews are flawed, biased or do not consider the totality of a system and the various interactions that may take place between components! With this in mind, I am compelled to mention to anyone with an open mind and a love of music try the Alpha-Core Goertz interconnects and speaker cables throughout their systems. These products performance.. you will be stunned!!! The equivalent impact is like replacing a Sony $160 CD player with $30,000 worth of a Mark Levinson transport $ DAC ( or going from 44/16 to the 96/24 standard)! You HAVE NOT heard components until you use the cables in your system. Then again, most people probably will be afraid of hearing what their components can do..they may be unhappy with their choices!!! My system is comprised of the following: Audio Research VT-200 amp Audio Research LS-25 preamp BAT VK-D5 CD player (single chassis for reduced jitter/interface problems) Dunlavy SC-V studio reference standard monitors Alpha-Core Goertz TQ-1 interconnects (XLR) Alpha-Core Goertz AG 2 Veracity Silver speaker cable with pure Silver Spade terminations Dave Borda, an Audiophile
August 6, 1999 These cables sound great in my system, much better than Audioquest or MIT. Associated equipment: Audio Artistry Dvoraks Parasound HCA2200II *2, P/SP 1500 Rega Planar 25 Alpha-Core Sapphire RCA Interconnects Eric Nelson, an Audiophile
Dear Alpha-Core Just wanted to let you know my latest musical adventures with AG cables. These things are sooo good my CDs sound almost as good as vinyl! I’ve retweaked the sound aborption panels in my listening room. Now sonics and imaging are quite simply breathtaking. The cables allow my system to setup a (scary at times) lifelike image. The midrange is particularly fine. Everyone who’s listened is struck by the holographic transparent soundfield that allows them to listen to any part of the music without undo concentration. In fact, I’ve noticed we tend to let tracks actually finish (!!) before moving on: a sure sign that something’s right. Also, the noise floor has dropped dramatically in my system (I didn’t know I had a noise floor problem before). All in all I would never had guessed your rather inexpensive cables could ever make this kind of difference. I’ve listened in this room for 13 years and it’s as if I’ve been doing audio I’ve never spent so little (well, maybe a phono cartridge here and there) and gotten such a large and positive improvement. Thanks! Ed
February 20, 1998 I just wanted to let you know the cables arrived rather…with the MI-2’s, my first impressions are overwhelming, even more so than with the brief three hour exposure. I am amazed at a number of things so far. Why do these things seem to take virtually no time to break in? Their character hasn’t seemed to change at all since the first hour or so of use. The tonal balance is spectacular. They seem to handle transients with blending speed. The resolution available from them is astounding! I think in part due to their complete quietness, and the soundstage and image! Simply the best, most correct sounding presentations I’ve heard! These are a killer! And I haven’t eve got to the TQ-1. I suspect I’ll want more of them when I get it to round out the system. And a second set of MI-2 bi-wire seems almost a given for my office system. Greg Weaver
September 9, 1996 Mr. Poulsen, Enclosed you will find a check for $84.00 for a 1 meter pair of copper interconnect (RCA’s). I would laugh at the manufacturers of price no object cable (if I could tear myself away from the music long enough)! Smooth, detailed, powerful, proportionate articulate bass. MI 2 has it all!. A believer, Robert Daniels, San Francisco, CA
June 25, 1998 "I’ve just bought the copper Tourmaline RCA interconnects and the MI-2 speaker cables…I decided to go with Goertz ™ because of the smart technical concept. I was particularly seduced… by the fact that they have lowest inductance on the market (I selected the 18W8546 Driver for the same reason), and their 4 ohms characteristic impedance. I’m not impressed by bizarre transmission line unproved theories and the use of very expensive unnecessary space age materials that are combined with voodoo engineering. When I listened to my new Goertz cables on my speakers, the first reaction that came to my mind was, "well, what is claimed in Goertz literature is absolutely true." As a matter of fact, I felt like I was listening for the first time to a real "distortion free" system. In other words, these new babies made me realize that the cables I was using before were actually introducing distortions and compression to the signals. I can use all of the objectives the Stereophile gurus normally use to describe the best products; razor sharp definition, fast, percussion slam, midrange purity, airiness, tight bass, 3D imaging, etc, etc… It’s the first time I can hear a full-blown brass package of a jazz orchestra. This is totally natural, not compressed, confused or veiled by intermodulation distortion. On the very best recordings, the eyes closed, I can "see" where the musicians are sitting. Thanks guys, you are damn right to say Audiophile Cables. Sorry I must leave, I have a brand new music collection to listen to. Regards, Dennis Colbert
January 29, 1996 Dear Ulrik: Just wanted to thank you again for sending the balanced interconnect wire recently. It is truly fantastic-better than any other interconnects I have tried at a much higher price. All the wire in my all Krell system is now Alpha-Core Goertz except for a digital cable! I’ll be experimenting with that soon. My speakers are the Legacy Focus, and I recently talked with Bill Duddleston at Legacy Audio (800/283-4644) and told them how impressed I was with the Goertz wire. I recommended that they become a dealer and suggested they use the MI wire for internal wiring in their speakers. You may want to pursue this Ulrik – they could be a significant dealer/user. I would like to try rewiring my speakers with MI wire. If you ever have a number short (3-4’) scraps, or other pieces which may be unsuitable for sale, or any other damaged pieces you were going to discard, I would appreciate receiving them for this trial. I’ll be glad to share the results with you. Thanks again Ulrik, for all your help. As always, please feel free to use my name as a reference for your products. Good luck on your venture with Krell. I’m very much a fan of their equipment also. Sincerely, John Barry Tulsa, OK
December 21, 1995 Dear Ulrik: The three conductor interconnect cable arrived yesterday and I was able to terminate it last night. You were right—it is spectacular! It has the same qualities I love with my MI-2 speaker cable-spaciousness, clarity, dynamics, detail, etc. I want to convert my other balanced interconnects to this cable. Please send enough wire for 2 pair of 1 m interconnects, and send me an invoice. As soon as I finish this letter, I will be typing an ad to list my present cables in audiomart! Thanks again Ulrik, for all your help and friendship. I take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Please feel free to use my name as a reference for any of your products. Sincerely, John Barry Tulsa, OK

July 3, 2000 I received the MI 1 cables on Friday. These cables are wonderful. They are open and seem to give the signal a sparkle. I am converted! These are the only cables I choose to use from here on. I look forward to purchasing some interconnects in the future. Thank you very much. Phillip Cullen, Columbus, GA
June 6, 2000 To whom it may concern: I have had the pleasure of using a bi-wired pair of the Alpha-Core MI 2 Veracity loudspeaker cables for the past couple of months. I did extensive research on loudspeaker cables prior to deciding on the Veracity. And then I took advantage of your generous three-week auditioning period. Having them part of my system has been a revelation. What I first noticed – and with a blind a/b test, at that – was a marked improvement in the bass and lower mid-range. Then, with many familiar recordings over a long weekend, I found that the soundstage was somehow clearer and I could "see farther into it. Things sounded better overall, with much improved resolution. I am enjoying music anew. In short, I am very pleased by my purchase and wanted to say thank you to the engineers and techies that have made such fine cables a reality. I also want to say a word about your sales staff who, throughout the entire process, were helpful, informative, and represented your company well. They are nearly as impressive as your cables! Thank you again. I look forward to many years of happy listening with your well-crafted product. Sincerely,Craig H. Kinsley, Ph.D.Associate Professor of Neuroscience Richmond, VA
March 13, 2000 To my great surprise, the silver Micro Purl excel so well as a Digital Interconnect that there is no reason to spend much more for a Kimber AGDL for $400. It is the best I have tried so far and I am certain that it beats anything out there including Nordost, and that is saying a lot for what it can do, I am keeping the 2 meter for this purpose. Spread the word and you put the competitors out of business. Sincerely, Peter Serrano, Los Angeles, CA
A pril 25, 2000Dear Alphacore, My name is Charles Wuest and I have recently purchase a 16’ bi-wired MI 1 OFC speaker cables as recommended by my friend Kenneth E Ziem of New Haven, CT and I am so glad I took his advice because the sound quality is incredible. It is a giant leap of my older solid core round cables. A whole new level of listening experience has opened up to me. Thank you, AlphaCore Sincerely, Charles Wuest
May 25, 2000 I just purchased and installed a pair of your Micro Purl interconnects between my pre-amp and amplifier. What did I have to lose with your three-week full refund offer? NO WAY are you getting these cables back! They have only been in my system for 24 hours and I simply cannot believe the improvements in bass, reduction of midrange glare and clean accurate highs. Acoustic bass, vocals, cymbal shimmer is so impressive I’m awestruck. I should also mention that the cables previously in the system cost three times more than the Micro Purls! Hearing is believing and there is no doubt that your cables are far superior to anything I have tried in my system before. Thank you for a superb product. Dean Zolubos, Methuen, MA
June 5, 2000 To whom it may concern, My name is Francis King. I am owner and operator of F.A.A. Sound Technologies, a high-end audio speaker manufacturer. I recently had the chance to try your coils and I was impressed, to say the least and I will continue to purchase and use them in manufacturing my products. Thank you, Francis King, Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada
April 24, 2000 Hello, I recently put your silver interconnect cables on my system. The improvement was so marked that I decided to try the silver speaker cables. I really wanted them not to make much difference because I really didn’t want to spend an extra $400.00 right now. I picked them up from UPS earlier today. I guess I just spent that money. The difference (I was using garden hose sized Monster bi wire) is so apparent, even before you break-in, that I have to keep them. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with your product. I am a member (new) of the CT Audio Society, and you can be sure I will tell everyone. Thank you very much for the improvement in my system. Michael Guteman, West Haven, CT
March 7, 2000 Dear Mr. Poulsen: I feel compelled, for the first time in my 77 years, to write in gratitude and appreciation for several hours of pleasure you and your company have been responsible for. Music is a central element in my life and although I have good playback equipment, I have been unhappy since the CD era began with equipment, which seemed all right for LP playback. A little over two weeks ago, there was a modest ad in the daily New York Times which was written in non-advertisingese, was unambiguous in its direct statements about product characteristics and performance and totally self-assured in guaranteeing a major improvement in the quality of playback when these products were installed. The products were speaker cables and interconnect cables. Those I had been using were high quality, but in view of the strength of the advertising claims and the guarantee that if there not a dramatic increase in playback performance, money would be immediately refunded, I called and ordered several sets given the nature of my audio installation. There were some small problems on delivery - the length was not long enough and I called and was surprised at the kindness and concern your people showed me, promising to send new cables at no cost to me immediately. I have now installed all the cables and have listened to my system with something bordering on disbelief. The across-the-board improvement is astonishing - low end, mid range and high end. It is truly the first time – and I have a collection of over 500 Cs – that there has been pin-point stereo placement, hardly ever found in CDs, astonishing purity (absence of any and all extraneous noise) and, for the first time, the absence of the shrillness (particularly string stridency). You and your people are a remarkable company in terms of extraordinary quality of your products – but also the extraordinary way you do business. Although the cables are expensive, they are more than worth every cent. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Rudo S. Globus, Ph.D.
January 27, 2000 Dear folks at Alpha-Core, Micro purl silvers came today as did my Quicksilver 8417 modifications (now using EL34s). Midpriced Transparent interconnects between the CD player and the preamp and the Micro Purls between preamp and amps. Tested one side with radio shack and the other side with yours. Well, one quick listen and that was it. Back on went the Micro Purls. The whole frequency range was there and with detail like I have never heard. I got imaging out of my speakers where I had never gotten it before… and the speakers are stuck in between cabinets. Wait until I move them. Quiet? Just empty space in between passages. There had always been some noise. Now NOTHING. You made a believer out of me. I listened to the same old music collection for six hours and it sounded completely different. Great product and I’ll be coming for more. Carl Mabee,
November 23, 1997 Re: The sonic results of your cables The micropurls are truly excellent. They easily trounce cables many times their very reasonable costs – I have some 1m RCA’s that I thought were very good, that are $600 a pair. The micropurls are so clear and open, so lacking in a sound of their own that substituting other cables in their place results in an obvious increase in system color, recordings that are clearly different in Sonics sound more alike (because of cable coloration’s) when the micropurls are swapped out for other high-end cables I’ve tried. Another nice thing: the micropurls are very flexible, and do not cause strain like thick cables. And they are very reasonably priced. Choosing them over competitor’s cables is a no-brainer. The speaker cables are utterly amazing. As with the micropurls, when substituting the Goertz cables with other high-end cables I’ve tried, the result is an increase in system color, a loss of clarity, and a tendency for different recordings to sound the same. Sometimes, other cables have a ‘nice’ euphonic quality, and I suspect most audiophiles are so conditioned to such euphony that the openness, clarity and lack of color of the Goertz cables will be a shock. At first, they may even crave to go back to the coloration’s and euphonic perspectives other cables impose, but the freeing of recordings from the imprisonment of cable coloration’s I truly exhilarating. The copper version of these products is wonderful, and affordable. I would say that before using products, I never knew how good my ARC Ref units and other system components really were. With products as good as your cables are, I cannot fathom how you could significantly improve on them. And that could be a real marketing dilemma in a world where newer is better. What will you market the coming years? :) Thanks, Jeff Bernhard, Fort Lauderdale, FL
August 17, 1999 My audio research reference thermionics have never sounded so good! I as well have braved the barren wasteland of cable mediocrity, only to have reaped the bitter sonic spoilage of the mass marketed voodoo concoctions so eagerly offered up by the local Temples of Audiocrity. Many thousands of dollars later, I have been released from twisted pair bondage. There is a silver lining for the weak, the tired and the befuddled masses. It takes the form of Goertz cables from Alpha-Core. My digititis was instantly cured, my midrange was degrained, the highs were etherealized and my bottom end underwent a reformation I thought would require years of intense Gizmological training to accomplish! Analog sound from CD’s, but without any of the drawbacks of LP tweakiosity. Thank you for the info and revelation synopsis of Alpha’s cables. By the way, I have a BAT VK-D5 with JAN amperex 7308 NOS tubes installed that appears to have silver circuit boards… is this in fact the truth? It sounds wonderful. So much like LP’s. I also use the NOS Amperex tubes in the ARC LS-25 preamp. The Goertz cables is revolutionary for those seeking to achieve a higher level of sonic purity and musical involvement from their audio system. May your Gizmological eccentricities remain forever constant. Dave Borda
August 16, 1999 I have been searching for the "Holy Grail" of cables for many years now, and to be honest with you, I thought the search to be a futile one? A quest destined to remain fruitless until such a time as a major quantum leap forward in cable technology and design would allow us audiophiles to reap the sonic splendor of our personal shrines to sonic nirvana. The Goertz cables are the "Holy Grail" so many of us frustrated audiophiles have been waiting for… they are the chosen cables; the cables which will lead us out of sonic bondage. No other cable: Transparent XL, Nordost SPM, MIT CVT-770 or anything else I have tried, has completely and utterly moved my "soul" as have the Goertz cables. Without these cables, component evaluations and purchases may as well be done with earplugs in…this stuff is terrific!!! Dave Borda,
June 2, 1999 I have tried many speaker cables in my system (i.e. Kimber 8TC, 4TC, Cardas hex Link, Monster cables, MIT’s) and found the MI 2 to be the best. What amazes me in these cables is the speed, clarity has bass response. Very transparent. Imtiaz Chhatriwala
May 13, 1999 These cables are GREAT. Klipsch La Scalas bi-wired, the music breathes. Very good value too. The Triode Quartz interconnects are excellent also. Les Lammers, Bagdad, Florida
May 7, 1999 These cables are fabulous! A worthwhile upgrade from the standard $5/m cables…..detail…lots of it……bass…quite good…. It’s imagery is very good for the price…I heard it in a shop with 15k worth of equipment…and it never sounded out of it’s class….only worry…is the cable may "kink"…thus grading sonic quality…a thus a little care is needed! Also check out its smaller brother the MI 1…perfect for a budget system… Chunk Ang , Singapore
April 28, 1999 To sum up, my odd custom set of 4M and 8M AlphaCore Goertz MI-2 makes my speakers deliver a 3D depth and potense I did not think was possible with my 10 years old B&W’s. Impressive indeed! Jan Kihle, Norway
March 30, 1999 I installed an 8’ set of MI-2 biwires with silver spades. They enhance everything from the bass to the highs. Bass is tighter, mids are more present, soundstage is fuller. Silence is actually SILENT!! If you have a really nice amp ( Aragon or better) RUN back to the store and put their solid silver interconnect between your pre and your amp, as long as you don’t have metal ribbon tweeters. This will add more clarity to the highs. The MI-2’s don’t hide the high end, but it sounds a tad relaxed to me – not "pushed" the way the $800 Synergistic Research cables made my system sound. They are not bright, but they are very clear. For the price ($400) they cannot be beat. I wish their solid silver cables were less costly, or that they made a silver plated model, like Nordost. I give them a solid 5 against anything that costs even 2 ½ times as much. If I had the bucks, I would go custom and get the MI-3’s as the bass cable, and a run of AG-2 for the highs, but that would cost 6 times as much. Drew, Piscataway, NJ
September 11, 1998 I switched from standard Monster speaker cables to the Goertz MI-2 coppers last year and was amazed at the improved clarity, sense of air, speed, accurate bass, and image focus (custom 12-ft lengths). I haven’t compared to other cables (except Monster’s), but some friends have and find this cable one of the best and certainly the BEST VALUE in speaker cable around for an accurate cable. My graduate physics study of transmission line systems also lends strong support to this flat parallel design as the lowest characteristic impedance on the marked (possibly explaining why it sounds so clean and fast). They also use very good connectors. Strongly recommend as a highly neutral, clean and accurate sounding cable! Bob L., Washington, DC
These are the most detailed and revealing copper speaker cables around. The bass goes deep, the highs are airy and light on their feet, and the mids smooth. I cannot recommend them enough. Forget about the MIT’s, Kimbers, DH Labs, etc… They will let every nuance of your systems pass right to your speaker. The only problem with that are bad components and recordings have nowhere to hide. But think of it this way…for a modest price you’ll never need to change them if you ever upgrade your system. These cables are so good that they will feel right at hone in a $50,000 system. I suggest you borrow one right away and listen for yourself… Jimmy C., NYC
December 4, 1999 Strengths: Fast clean, airy highs, tight clean bass, have the speed of silver without the graininess often associated with silver. Weakness: That lovely hint of warmth in the mids might be a tad euphonic. I’m really stretching to think of a weakness here. Similar products used: Nordost Quattrofil, SPM, Red Dawn; Cardas Golden Cross; many cheaper cables. Review summary: This is an excellent cable and an extremely good value compared to others on the market. Art Altman, San Carlos – Sapphire Interconnect
September 28, 1999 Simply some of the smoothest and clearest interconnects you are gonna hear. Highs are airy. Mids are smooth, liquid. Lows are tight. Compare these to any interconnect before you buy. I haven’t heard the very expensive Nordost SPM interconnects, but I have read that the Sapphires sound better. I paid $425 for a 1.0 meter and a 0.5 meter set of Sapphires, and I feel that they are worth every penny. Obviously you need good associated equipment to hear the difference. You may not hear the difference on a Radioshack Optimus rack system. My rig: B&W Matrix 804’s (If you haven’t heard "B&W sound", go out and hear some!) Llano A200-C power amp (incredible amp-llanodesign.com) Llano Concerto tube preamp (I love this preamp.) Rega Planet CD player (It will spoil you) Alpha-Core MI-2 bi-wire with silver spades (top notch cables at a terrific price) I highly recommend any of the components in my system.

August 19, 1999 I have been for a long time influenced by the audio magazines. This led me to many mistakes in the choice of my equipment, and cables. I bought many models of cables from NORDOST, and was always not happy, there was something missing. A friend of mine recommended me to try Goertz cables, and he gave me a pair of MI-2. Yes, it is simple. This cable was damn good for the price, but the irony is that Goertz was cheaper than my existing cables, and by the way it seems that this cable has not good reviews in almost every audio magazine, hey NORDOST looks nice, good for decoration!!! An Audio Enthusiast
August 19, 1999 Very neutral speaker cables at a very reasonable price ($171.50 for a 6’ pair). You can easily order direct from Alpha-Core with a 30-day trial period. Their web site (http://www.alphacore.com/) has extensive useful information. Since the manufacturer of my speakers (B&W 803 Nautilus) suggests a low impedance speaker cable, I became interested in the Goertz MI-2, 10 gauge copper version; the 9 gauge is $1,005)! They are absolutely great sounding. And if you like the look of copper, they are beautiful too. The bi-wiring story: Since I didn’t believe in bi-wiring (I don’t really share the cable fetish) I simply ordered a single pair. Once I had completed several comparisons with what had been my standard cable, and it was clear the Goertz was a much better match (very uncolored, very musical), I followed the recommendation of my new speaker’s manufacturer, and gave bi-wiring a try. So, I set up Goertz on one channel and my then current wire on the other (obviously not the best comparison). The result was bizarre – the bi-wired side no only sounded worse than my usual wire but also worse than a single set of the Goertz (this was confirmed by my wife who had been bribed to be a part of this experiment). I didn’t understand why this should be but decided to keep the Goertz and use the single pair. As I was detaching the cables I noticed that the bottom set had become disconnected, so there really wasn’t any bass playing. After re-connecting the bottom set it was immediately clear that the bi-wired speaker sounded wonderfully coherent and natural. I exchanged the single pair for a bi-wire pair (an even bigger bargain at $319). For those who are concerned with such things, the two wires are separate but are joined into a single left and right connector at the amplifier side. While I like to keep them nested, you can certainly separate them up to the amplifier side if you feel it will give you better sound. My advice: if the manufacturer’s manual suggest bi-wiring (versus not suggesting it but including the option on the speaker, perhaps because this is perceived to be a hi-end option), give it a try without paying for the experiment. Philip Lemanche,
August 13, 1999 After spending 25+ years as an audiophile; owning more gear than most people ever dream about, it never ceases to amaze me at the number of people who attempt to simply justify their choice of components. I have recently assembled the latest, greatest equipment available those suites my tastes…but it took me a very long time and a lot of money to find the correct synergy of components. The biggest problem is that most reviews are flawed, biased or do not consider the totality of a system and the various interactions that may take place between components! With this in mind, I am compelled to mention to anyone with an open mind and a love of music try the Alpha-Core Goertz interconnects and speaker cables throughout their systems. These products performance.. you will be stunned!!! The equivalent impact is like replacing a Sony $160 CD player with $30,000 worth of a Mark Levinson transport $ DAC ( or going from 44/16 to the 96/24 standard)! You HAVE NOT heard components until you use the cables in your system. Then again, most people probably will be afraid of hearing what their components can do..they may be unhappy with their choices!!! My system is comprised of the following:

August 6, 1999 These cables sound great in my system, much better than Audioquest or MIT. Associated equipment:
Eric Nelson, an Audiophile
Dear Alpha-Core Just wanted to let you know my latest musical adventures with AG cables. These things are sooo good my CDs sound almost as good as vinyl! I’ve retweaked the sound aborption panels in my listening room. Now sonics and imaging are quite simply breathtaking. The cables allow my system to setup a (scary at times) lifelike image. The midrange is particularly fine. Everyone who’s listened is struck by the holographic transparent soundfield that allows them to listen to any part of the music without undo concentration. In fact, I’ve noticed we tend to let tracks actually finish (!!) before moving on: a sure sign that something’s right. Also, the noise floor has dropped dramatically in my system (I didn’t know I had a noise floor problem before). All in all I would never had guessed your rather inexpensive cables could ever make this kind of difference. I’ve listened in this room for 13 years and it’s as if I’ve been doing audio I’ve never spent so little (well, maybe a phono cartridge here and there) and gotten such a large and positive improvement. Thanks! Ed
February 20, 1998 I just wanted to let you know the cables arrived rather…with the MI-2’s, my first impressions are overwhelming, even more so than with the brief three hour exposure. I am amazed at a number of things so far. Why do these things seem to take virtually no time to break in? Their character hasn’t seemed to change at all since the first hour or so of use. The tonal balance is spectacular. They seem to handle transients with blending speed. The resolution available from them is astounding! I think in part due to their complete quietness, and the soundstage and image! Simply the best, most correct sounding presentations I’ve heard! These are a killer! And I haven’t eve got to the TQ-1. I suspect I’ll want more of them when I get it to round out the system. And a second set of MI-2 bi-wire seems almost a given for my office system. Greg Weaver
September 9, 1996 Mr. Poulsen, Enclosed you will find a check for $84.00 for a 1 meter pair of copper interconnect (RCA’s). I would laugh at the manufacturers of price no object cable (if I could tear myself away from the music long enough)! Smooth, detailed, powerful, proportionate articulate bass. MI 2 has it all!. A believer, Robert Daniels, San Francisco, CA
June 25, 1998 "I’ve just bought the copper Tourmaline RCA interconnects and the MI-2 speaker cables…I decided to go with Goertz ™ because of the smart technical concept. I was particularly seduced… by the fact that they have lowest inductance on the market (I selected the 18W8546 Driver for the same reason), and their 4 ohms characteristic impedance. I’m not impressed by bizarre transmission line unproved theories and the use of very expensive unnecessary space age materials that are combined with voodoo engineering. When I listened to my new Goertz cables on my speakers, the first reaction that came to my mind was, "well, what is claimed in Goertz literature is absolutely true." As a matter of fact, I felt like I was listening for the first time to a real "distortion free" system. In other words, these new babies made me realize that the cables I was using before were actually introducing distortions and compression to the signals. I can use all of the objectives the Stereophile gurus normally use to describe the best products; razor sharp definition, fast, percussion slam, midrange purity, airiness, tight bass, 3D imaging, etc, etc… It’s the first time I can hear a full-blown brass package of a jazz orchestra. This is totally natural, not compressed, confused or veiled by intermodulation distortion. On the very best recordings, the eyes closed, I can "see" where the musicians are sitting. Thanks guys, you are damn right to say Audiophile Cables. Sorry I must leave, I have a brand new music collection to listen to. Regards, Dennis Colbert
January 29, 1996 Dear Ulrik: Just wanted to thank you again for sending the balanced interconnect wire recently. It is truly fantastic-better than any other interconnects I have tried at a much higher price. All the wire in my all Krell system is now Alpha-Core Goertz except for a digital cable! I’ll be experimenting with that soon. My speakers are the Legacy Focus, and I recently talked with Bill Duddleston at Legacy Audio (800/283-4644) and told them how impressed I was with the Goertz wire. I recommended that they become a dealer and suggested they use the MI wire for internal wiring in their speakers. You may want to pursue this Ulrik – they could be a significant dealer/user. I would like to try rewiring my speakers with MI wire. If you ever have a number short (3-4’) scraps, or other pieces which may be unsuitable for sale, or any other damaged pieces you were going to discard, I would appreciate receiving them for this trial. I’ll be glad to share the results with you. Thanks again Ulrik, for all your help. As always, please feel free to use my name as a reference for your products. Good luck on your venture with Krell. I’m very much a fan of their equipment also. Sincerely, John Barry Tulsa, OK
December 21, 1995 Dear Ulrik: The three conductor interconnect cable arrived yesterday and I was able to terminate it last night. You were right—it is spectacular! It has the same qualities I love with my MI-2 speaker cable-spaciousness, clarity, dynamics, detail, etc. I want to convert my other balanced interconnects to this cable. Please send enough wire for 2 pair of 1 m interconnects, and send me an invoice. As soon as I finish this letter, I will be typing an ad to list my present cables in audiomart! Thanks again Ulrik, for all your help and friendship. I take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Please feel free to use my name as a reference for any of your products. Sincerely, John Barry Tulsa, OK
