MIT's not good for tube components?


I was at a hi-fi store the other day and started chatting with the owner regarding improving my system and such. We got to the subject of cables, and I mentioned that I was using MIT 2 biwire for speaker cables and MIT 330 shotguns for IC's. He quickly mentioned that I needed to get new cables, because MIT's weren't good for tube components. I wasn't sure if he was trying to get me to buy cables from him or if in fact MIT's are deficient for tube components.

Any comments regarding this?

Also, if you have any recommendations for speaker cables and IC's that may mate well with my system, I would appreciate them.

My system:
Vandersteen 2ce sig
Eastern Electric Minimax tube CDP
TAD-150 sig tube preamp
McCormack DNA-1 deluxe

I keep seeing these great reviews of MIT Cables. I finally(!) found their website www.mitcables.com and again found myself frustrated.

I couldn't get through all of the prompts to get myself introduced to them. Bummer of a web page.

I just downloaded the Purist brochure. Web site opposite in quality to the MIT. Drew, I am personally a real big fan of accoustic zen. I also like the audioquest toslink cable. Check out all three web sites. With any of the above you will find lots of praise here on audiogon. I do intend to explore the Purist line. Oh, did you know about the cable lending library at www.fatwyre.com?

It is a bit hard to find at their web site. Call them.

Nsgarch; Sorry. I was not clear: Mit website stinks, Purist website is as good as MIT's is bad. This is not a comment on the products...just on the websites.
