MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em

The common misnomer that networked cables (MIT - Transparent) are filtered - is incorrect. The networks are paralleled across the conductors, not in series. Their purposes are (1) group delay compensation, as mentioned above and (2) to help absorb/attenuate reflected energy so as to prevent it reaching back to the amp, the amp's feedback then attempting to make erroneous corrections based upon those signal reflections. This also smooths out the detrimental effects of the inherent reactance charactaristics of cabling, ALL of which is reactive to some degree or another, making ALL cables equivelant to filters in some way, and thus interacting with the reactive characteristics of both the source & the load. This explains why synergy is so critical when trying to optimize your setup, and why a particular cable set works differently when placed into different electrical environments. This is an unavoidable fact of life for any cable. It is gratifying to see that at least *some* such as Dautch actually comprehend what is going on in that respect. Others who may install a component or cable into their existing rig (previously optimized for a different matchup) and then experience less than stellar results, are quick to blame the new device as a bad one, obviously an oversimplified & incorrect assumption.
In my particular case, my rig took to MIT cabling like a fish takes to water, realizing a lovely combination immediately, which only improved over a 30 day interval as the cables were further used (the breakin phenomenon). Bruce Brisson definitely knows what he's doing, just very misunderstood.

all doubting Thomas's STILL sound the same

well said Max
That fool is doing some such as Bundy & other newbies a great disservice with his so-called technical explanations, regarding the reasons why we (those of us who DO understand & like what we are hearing) just cannot possibly be realizing the truth in what we have actually experienced for ourselves. Even comes right out & admits that he's had no actual experiences with the product! Respected manufacturers such as Audio Research, Spectral, Hales (to name a few) apparently have no idea what they are using these networked design cables for either? Serious credibility issues are readily apparent in taking such a posture.
I used to laugh at the networked designs myself (and also at upgrade cables of any nature) until I actually tried them. Not laughing anymore. My speaker cables alone are a $4000 list item, so I'm putting my money where my mouth is.

Sean the expert is right here: contact Joe Abrams the MIT rep. (membername = joeabrams). Joe is a straight\up dude who will advise you within the context of your intended application or desire to experiment. He will talk with anyone via phone or email & will get answers that he doesn't have, or even refer you to the factory tech support if you so desire. I've even talked at length with Bruce Brisson himself, who patiently answered questions & advised me accordingly. Joe offers a 30 day $-back guarantee & the best deals you ever dreamed of on new or demo MIT cable, the interconnects, speaker cable, AC cords, icon connectors, whatever. Just keep an open mind: remember I was once laughing at MIT myself, & considering the level I'm at now that is a testament. I didn't start out at that level, but what I experienced was so convincing that I had to upgrade when the opportunity presented itself. Joe almost got his cables sent back to him, but he convinced me to wait out the full month first. I wouldn't trade them now for anything. The networks on Oracle series are in fact tunable according to the application (this addresses your concern above). Breaking in new MIT speaker cable takes quite awhile, & you can't use a Duotech because it kills the networks. Nordost machine might be OK, but ask Joe.

he too reminds me of Carl Eberhart, & like Unsound, I really do miss the guy. Certainly Carl was/is controversial but he sure knew what he was talking about, unlike the above-mentioned clueless blowhard uncle-naysayer.

and a good riddance too; not a thing that unclenaysayer has said can hold water, or bat$#!^ for that matter. Not a single useful contribution to the forum, nor was Bundy's question ever actually answered; just opinionated conjecture spewed forth ad nauseum.
No experience - notta!
Not that the uncle-originated posts were read anyway, following the initial (hurl)
I stand by my word - derived from years of true experience with different networked products - and I stand by my true name for that matter. No hiding behind false monikers & phony email addresses here - uncle BOZO.
