I'm studying MIT cables


How MIT ranking their articulation poles? I'm so confused; I need help. When I first bought an old pair Magnum M3 RCA, I was told that these were 12 poles and suppose to be higher than AVTs, CVTs and Shotguns but now I find that some of them are actually equal or even higher than the my old M3?
For example, CVT Terminator-1 RCA (12 poles), AVT MA RCA(16 poles) and the current Shotgun S1.3 (12 poles)

I really like how MIT cables sound, love'em actually, so please educate me which is actually better than my M3? I'm looking to upgrade in near future. Thanks all.

My understanding from having read some of the MIT literature a while back is that in general more poles are better, similar to how more bands on a graphic equalizer is better, ie each has to deal with less bandwidth. How many is enough or how much better? I haven't a clue.

FWIW I like my inexpensive Terminator 2 and 3 ICs a lot. I prefer the midrange energy and top to bottom coherency of my DNM Reson ICs over the MITs in my main system generally however.
