I have gone through the entire line of MIT IC and speaker cables (Shotgun to Oracle 2.1 then to 1.1). I have felt the same as you. For the first 20 mins of listening I love the new cables but, for the next month I hate them.
The break in time is very long. As you go up the line the time is longer! My Oracle 1.1 IC's and Speaker cables are still breaking in after 5 weeks of constant play time. One night you can't believe how great they are then the next day - crap.I would advise you to wait it out and run a signal through them 24/7 if you can. It is worth the wait if you can tolarate the love/hate realtionship with you system. You will notice that the lows will smooth out and the highs get much better and extend to a nice sparkle.
Be patient - MIT really does make the best cables. Make sure you have the impeadance setting in the right spot too!
