MIT or MITH?

I'll tell you a couple of facts, then my opinion. Fact: When MIT attends trade shows where they are trying to get new dealers, they have a sign up with 3 reasons one should carry their products. The first reason is PROFIT. A local electrician took apart one of their $250 interconnects and there was $10-$15 in parts cost (not including connectors). According to 'industry-insiders,' the only company that has a lower parts cost ratio is NBS. My opinion: there are far better cables available at far less cost. People are probably getting strong-armed into MIT by their dealers (wanting to gobble up that profit), and folks are figuring out they aren't very good. That happened to me a few yrs ago; what I thought was a reputable dealer 'highly recommended' the MIT to me & I bought into it. I sold them at a significant loss, and no longer frequent the dealer.

Sugarbrie; if you don't think my BMW has better parts quality than a Chevy, I've got some beach property in Ohio to sell you. I disagree with the premise that parts quality has nothing to do with a product. However, I do agree that someone, somewhere, could probably make some decent sounding amp with parts from Home Depot. But it certainly wouldn't be easy and I don't think it's done very often. Parts quality means a lot to me, although it is very difficult to know what you're getting with cables. And Carl, I'm best friends with the biggest Nordost dealer in the US, and the margins on those are nowhere near what they are w/ the MIT. Listen, if you folks like the sound of MIT, keep them; I'm not saying you're wrong. I merely pointed out facts and my opinion. Just curious: It doesn't bother anyone that the number one reason a dealer shd carry mit is profit?

Above are good examples of why I reluctantly participate in these chat discussions; people just don't know how to communicate effectively and intelligently. All too often, it becomes an exercise in bashing someone else, for no apparent reason. I'll leave the 'chatting' (if one can call it that) for others.
