| Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables? 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. | |

| Just how great is Elvis Costello Thanks Rich and Tooblue. I will definitely give them a shot. | |

| Thiel Owners ^classe and Thiel classic for sure. Congrats on knowing what you like and liking what you know!!! Rare amongst audiophiles. | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound you are correct and good call out! Straightwire Maestro II is the most consistent match that I go back to alot - it is also my base to compare other cables. It does everything I like. I owned SW Virtuoso for a while but it was a little ... |
