Cables other than MIT with Spectral


Spectral says you have to use their special MIT cables to get the right sound from their equipment and to avoid damaging the equipment. Has anyone had experience using other brands of cables. Was there a diminished sound quality or damage?

Spectral equipment is very wideband & can easily oscillate ultrasonically (you won't hear this) until the outputs fail. Yes they can tell if you've attempted to operate otherwise & will absolutely not warranty this folly. Transparent is another networked design that *should* operate with full stability on Spectral but I wouldn't guarantee anything. Unless you have a quality oscilloscope bridged across a Spectral amp's outputs, or a lot of expendable $ & time, then DON'T.
