MIT? Massachusetts Institute of Technology? How prestigious is that?
Oh right, MIT cables actually has nothing to do with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - amazing how many audio buffs I've talked to over the years who thought there was a connection.
There are four things paramount in good cables - low capacitance, low inductance, low resistance and a quality connection. Still the best coating according to industry standards (whether signal or data transfer) is a thin layer of PTFE or Polyethylene, with shielding (only if necessary) in locations of high EMI/RFI or when near an unshielded transformer.
I do not believe that all cables sound alike - some cheep, poorly made cables, assembled with poor conductors and cheep connectors, sound bad and some very expensive cables sound even worse.
Uber expensive cables (usually of dubious, design, fraught with outrageous, unfounded claims) play to the egos of those who believe that they alone have super-human hearing that demands something extraordinary or simply have more money than technical understanding or good sense......IMO.....Jim
