MIT cables vs. Synergistic Research cables?


Cable hunting again. Has anyone ever compared MIT to Synergistic Research interconnects and speaker cable? Whats the difference in sound? Is one more laid back then the other? I was told MIT doesn't have the detail that SR has. Any comments?

I'm hoping the shotgun series has improved in two years. My S3 were blown away by the Goertz MI2 and Dynamic Design cables. The S3 had an upper tilted midrange that sounded strange when I done a side by side comparison and this was on my Belles and Vandersteen system. I'm trying them again since the majority of Avalon guys are using MIT.
I was a fan of MIT for 10+ years but found out after extensive test that they were choking my system. They are a Hi-fi sounding cable in my opinion.
I'm going to give MIT one more try. Have some S1.3 coming next week to compare with my Morrow MA4/SP4. I'll let you know which one I keep!
The anomalies were I believe the MIT cables since removing them solved the problem. I believe, now that MIT has no critical circuits in the path that can add to these strange anomalies but we'll see.
Dave_b,

My S1.3 have about 28 hours on them and to be fair have many more hours to go but I can say that they do have a forward presentation that's not to my liking but will see if that goes away with time, if not will try the magnum since I hear things happens behind the speaker which I prefer. How would you describe the sound of the Magnum 1.3?
