Hello,
Last year I put in an MIT digital cable in place of a cheapo RCA cable I had been using between my Pioneer PD65 and Manley DAC. This was only a home trial from the MIT cable dealer so I had nothing to lose. But I was quite surprised to hear greater distinction between each note in the music with the MIT cable. I have read from the Audiogon forums that smearing is one artifact greatly reduced with digital cable and transport upgrades. The cable change here convinced me of this. I will not even begin to spectulate what happened here but my ears told me it was a definite improvment. After swapping cables a few times, I knew it was for real. Oh well, another $350 spent on a cable but it was well worth the improvement. And it was not subtle.
