Those black boxes degrade sound?
I have many years of experience with MIT and they are anything but smeared. They are actually the most grain free cables I have used - they might not be for everybody, but I have found in every system I have used/heard the one characteristic that ...

Jack White's Streaming Vinyl

PC recommendation for McIntosh 501's

Life Death Love and Freedom : John Mellencamp
The vinyl version is excellent, material takes "dark" to a new level however. T. Bone Burnett is an excellent producer, great sounds and textures on his guitar. 
Thiel 3.6's vs. Vandersteen 3 sigs
I've had my 3.6's for 10 years and have no plans to take them out of my main system.
