Best Speaker Wire & Tube Pre for Aleph 3


I am presently running Wadia WT 2000 transport-X64.4 DAC through an OBH 12 (For remote purposes)Acoustic Research SP6C, Aleph 3, MIT Terminator 2 Bi-Wired to a pair of Sonus Faber Concerto Grand Piano. I want to replace the OBH-12/AR SP6C chain with a single unit remote tube pre-amp to make it more simple and less interconects. I'm looking at the AE 3 or the Cary SLP 50B. Any comments on my Speaker wires & Remote Tube pre-amp are welcome. Positive & negative Ok.

I have an Aleph 3, and have used it with both Stealth Premier and Stealth Ultimate Ribbon speaker cables. I like the ribbons best, with my Quad ESL 63's, but the Premier is excellent and might do better with other speakers. I had MIT's top cables for five or six years, and now regret the money I spent (wasted) on them. I was able to make cables of my own, using Kimber AGSS and other decent wires, that were better. When I went back from homemade to my old MIT CVT Terminators, it was like throwing blankets over the speakers. That was 10 years ago, but I doubt it they're that much better now. Great marketing department, though.
