I'm studying MIT cables


How MIT ranking their articulation poles? I'm so confused; I need help. When I first bought an old pair Magnum M3 RCA, I was told that these were 12 poles and suppose to be higher than AVTs, CVTs and Shotguns but now I find that some of them are actually equal or even higher than the my old M3?
For example, CVT Terminator-1 RCA (12 poles), AVT MA RCA(16 poles) and the current Shotgun S1.3 (12 poles)

I really like how MIT cables sound, love'em actually, so please educate me which is actually better than my M3? I'm looking to upgrade in near future. Thanks all.

Sometimes moving up in a line does not get you the results you expect....for whatever reason. That was the case for me, I used many varieties of MIT and found the most enjoyable in my system was the 330 and 750 series.

As I moved up I found the sound either too detailed, or lacking coherency (which is the marketing mantra for MIT). I still use the terminator series in one HT system and 750's in another. But I have stopped chasing them in my 2 channel system.

As for the poles and input impedance and settings and the several dozen innovations over the years I can't explain and really don't have the appetite to try and figure out. I was using MIT before they had networks but after listening to other lines that sound better to me I have moved on. Not to mention they are über expensive! However, that's just me...YMMV.
