So Lee...you say the MIT's suck?  i run the TERM 3's, and think them a capable cable, but I've not heard anything else.  Hmmm.....
Of all the things I dont like spending money on, cables top the list.

I know they sucked with my system.. they made everything sound incredibly cut and dry, not musical in the least..  I used to have the same outlook on cables as you until I finally decided to see if cables really do influence sound that much.. and they do!!  Cables have almost as much character as the components in a system.. try some out yourself and see..

Lee, funny thing is that just a few days ago Nick & I were having the converstaion about my speaker cables being the likely culprit of the weakest link. Even funnier is that when I was speaking with Jonathan he agreed & offered to send me out a pair to try instead of the MIT's. Nick will be experiencing the dramatic change cables can offer soon enough.
I'm a firm believer in cables changing the sound, I have preached this time & time again to Nick. He'll see the light soon enough.

time and time again? wtf are you talking about?  

I recently put new MIT IC's in my system, replacing crap ARs and monsters, and could hear...no difference at all.  I was disapionted after dumping $150 on two ICs and a s/pdif coax...and that was used.  I know, short money...but i'm just not yet convinced of the dramatic difference from one cable to the next.  When I have a real high end cable to play with, then i'll know.  but i'm not buying one to find out is the problem.  eventualy, my MIT speaker cables will go away, and my new ICs are actualy no longer needed w/my CD-PRE24 replacing the need for one IC and the digi.  Maybe I'll sell them all and buy a good mid-level IC to connect to my amp.

Your problem is you put MIT in your system..  Some cables that have recently lifted veils off my system are the Kimber KCAG and the Nordost Red Dawn's..  Once you do make the plunge into HQ cables (excluding MIT) you'll hear a difference

i get the feeling wes does not like MIT cables.
