mattmiller, very much the opposite… keithtexas is absolutely correct, MIT CVT Terminators are not only tonally neutral, they open up musical details and add air around every note and instrument. Perhaps the person you got your information from did not break them in for the prerequisite 200 hours? The Stereophile review of the cables is spot on - after adding them to my system, I heard details in each and every recording that I’d never noticed before, regardless of the source material.
Thank you, keithtexas for stepping in and responding for me.
