MIT & Spectral -- but Which MIT?


I know that Spectral recommends using MIT wires with their amplifiers; 'quality' of the various lines of MIT cables aside, though, does it matter which MIT cable is used to maintain amplifier stability? MIT cables range from (almost) reasonable to hideously expensive; rather than use my current Alpha-Core M2s, I'll pick up some MIT wire to protect my newly-acquired DMA-50, and would like to keep that cost as low as possible. Are the lower-cost MIT Terminator lines adequate to the task, or should MH-750 be considered the minimum acceptable? If they should be 750s or higher, which model and/or impedence -- low, medium, high -- would be best (speakers are ProAc 2s)? Shotgunned, or not? Has anyone successfully used Alpha-Cores with Spectral amps? Any help is vastly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mark

Dear MJM,
Joe Abrams who is frequently on this website would be a good person to answer this question.
I will give my personal experience. I had the DMA 180 and now the DMA 360. I have used a bunce of MIT cables and they are each quite a bit different. For instance I have tried the oracle v2 and preferred a much cheaper 770 cable. The most important thing is to match the impedances since the spectral cables are a bit special.
