When I used to sell MIT cable I found the only other brand that sounded similar was Tara Labs. I used my influence as a salesman to get in every cable that I could get my hands on in order to stay competitive, and to find the best cable for my system of course.
Tara Labs sounded almost exactly like MIT. We didn't switch to them though. The price / performance ratio was identical. The huge benefit of Tara Labs of course was the lack of gigantic boxes.
I'll leave out all the details of electronics, speakers, and other cable brands. I must say though that I learned that Transparent cable don't put their networks in parallel with the signal. They put them in series. Therefore they're not at all similar to MIT. In fact I would never give them the time of day.
