I've read things like that before regarding MIT. I wonder what is wrong with beautiful, wide, articulate music? I've read similar things about Spectral equipment, with which I have no personal experience. |
The day I took the MIT's out of my system (and replaced them with cables without network boxes) was the day I went from having speakers playing beautiful, wide, articulate music to....People with instruments in my listening room! That's all I'll say. |
Thanks for the info. I was told years ago, when I had MIT cables myself, that you couldn't combine the outputs, and had to use the cables in a biwire config. But that was from my dealer, and not MIT. |
The network boxes for some of the the MA-X series cables have separate adjustments for high and low, but the outputs are not labeled as such. |

The MIT has multiple articulation poles across the frequency range. As you go up the price range you get more articulation poles. These are points where the phase, time and energy settling times are congruent. I would assume that in the biwired versions the high frequency articulation poles are in the upper and the lower frequency articulation poles are in the lower. If you hook them up the wrong way round the cables will not operate optimally. If you do not have biwired speakers you simply hook both the high and low together. |

That's not correct. The components in the network boxes are wired in parallel with the signal cable. One of the points of having a network box is to have correct signal(s) at all frequencies."
Then why do they label the outputs on the network box high and low? Are you saying that both outputs are the same and it doesn't matter how you connect them? |

any of you guys using MIT cabling w/ THIEL loudspeakers?
I would be interested in reading about the synergy (if any)
and your listening impressions/thoughts?"
I would be careful. Since the signal leaving the network box is different for the highs and the lows, I would be concerned that this would have an effect on the speakers time and phase characteristics. |

Keep me posted & Happy Listening! |

Over the years, I've always found a consistent synergy with MIT cables and AQ cables when used together. I mainly use AQ DBS interconnects with MIT Shotgun speaker cables

Same here.
I had the full loom of either Audioquest or MITs and found a goldilocks combination using AQ Jaguar ICs with DBS and MIT Shotgun S2 speaker cables.
Been that way for a couple of years with very good results, imho, of course. |
I recently compared interconnects: MIT MA-X and Cardas Clear versus my old Audioquest Sky. I'm going with the MIT. The sound staging of the MIT is addictive. |
Over the years, I've always found a consistent synergy with MIT cables and AQ cables when used together. I mainly use AQ DBS interconnects with MIT Shotgun speaker cables. I have stepped up to the MIT Oracle V3.2 IC's from my preamp to amp in the main rig and the use of the impedence matching network really demonstrated just how critical this function is not to mention the increased resolution and soundstage prowess the big MIT's bring.
I also use SR Resolution Reference SPEC cables for my REL subs and they match up great with the MIT speaker cables used on the main speakers. I did try a pair of AQ Volcano
DBS speaker cables and while they are very good in the resolution dept. they just don't quite have the slam and solidity that the MIT's do.
As always, YMMV. |
Nordost, Morrow Audio, Kimber, Audioquest, I would try at least 2 of these. Also, this is a hard question to answer because of no system info and the lack of knowledge on our part, about what your trying to accomplish exactly with cables in your system. |
I've used MIT in the past with good results, but its been a while. To be honest, their product line is so confusing I just get frustrated and look elsewhere. |
