Curtis, I use MIT with my Rogue 88 tube amp, and recommend that you at least try it, before you "stay away" from it. If the input impedance of your tube amp is high, like 200k ohms, then you could try one of the high impedance specific 330 series interconnects (you could get them used for not too much money). I have tried perhaps most of the silver interconnects out there, and prefer my 350 EVO interconnect to all of them, with my tube amp. These have included (of the ones I can remember): AudioTruth Diamond x3; Vantage gold and silver pre-production prototype ic's; Stealth Ribbon and M-7; Siltech FTM-generation 3 (it's partly gold); Sonic Horizon Silver Moon (it's merely silver plated); Pure Note Signature; LAT International IC-200; and Silversmith Audio. The prices of all these run from under $200 to $1600. Of all of these, the Pure Notes were the "fastest" by far, and perhaps with a couple hundred thousand hours of burn in (I didn't have that kind of time), they might suit a system that needs such a character in its interconnect (like maybe 2A3 amps? I may try them again, once I get mine built). The Silversmith defied the rest, in not hyping attack transients, but was still dynamically laid back, and this seemed to affect the "timing specificity" of the music. The Vantage all-gold-conductor interconnect is extremely smooth, has an awesome midrange, incredible deep and fast bass, but has about the weakest dynamic contrast of any cable I've tried (the smoothness alone makes me want to try other all-gold ic's at some point, though). However, none of these were as dynamic/powerful/musical/ as the 350 EVO, which never over-hypes attack transients in music (the way all of the silver ones I tried, did). If you want the notes in the music to have proper duration, and the deepest staging and most solid imaging you've ever heard, then try an MIT interconnect. These 350 EVO's were Robert Harley's (I hope you've heard of him) reference for many years, with his AR Reference 600 tube amps. Good luck, and keep an open mind.......Carl
Interconnects for Tube amps
What would be a good interconnect and speaker cable for Tube amps.I would like good interconnects, but at the same time, don't want to get an equity loan.I have been considering the MIT 330's and MH 750.I also do not wish to keep trying different brands, I would like cables that are neutral, thanks, Curt.
