Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables?


hi, does anyone know of other brands interconnects and speakers cables that have a house sound that's similar to MIT cables? but without those MIT network box? MIT cables sound relax, a tad laid back, yet clear and no veil/curtain between performance and listener, dynamic are natural without harshness.

Thanks for any replies.

Philip, what model MIT cables do you use?  Even though they have a house sound it varies quite a bit the further up the line you go.  

Philip you are seriously up the line with your cables.  I have owned and still own many MIT's including the old reference series.  They were my first high end cable, before networks even, but over the years got lost in the MIT innovation blast.  Just could not keep up.  Having said that I have never had success with a full loom from one manufacturer, including MIT, Kimber, Tara, PAD, and Kubala Sosna.  MIT's do exactly what you mentioned, layering the soundstage and are scary holographic.  Perhaps you try something to break up the loom, I have found too much of one characteristic can be too much in a loom. But once MIT gets in your blood it will always be there!

I will be interested to hear your impression Philip.  I have always preferred MIT IC's over their speaker cables.  My favorite spot is from source to preamp - currently using 350 SG EVO from my Allnic phono preamp and it just seems to set the tone for everything downstream.

bo1972 you should start an Audioquest thread.  There are others who are as passionate as you about particular brands that have done the same.  There is also another member where it is well know he hates a cable brand and mentions it often.  You begin to lose credibility and would hate to see that with you because you obviously have a ton of experience.  Just my opinion.
