MIT cables vs. Synergistic Research cables?


Cable hunting again. Has anyone ever compared MIT to Synergistic Research interconnects and speaker cable? Whats the difference in sound? Is one more laid back then the other? I was told MIT doesn't have the detail that SR has. Any comments?

Wig, I will be very curious to hear your take in your system because I agree with your statement above. I own and have owned many variants of both IC's and speaker cables for years and I just don't quite get what Dave hears. Although, I have no experience with more recent models he is referring to. Over the years I spent the most time with 350 series - reference and EVO Shotgun IC's and several models of SC including Oracle V3 and Magnum M2.

My complaint is the lack of midrange texture in the old reference series, the 330's had that but lacked the dynamics and detail.

The other problem for me at least is the expense of MIT - for the same money depending on the level of entry, I can upgrade a tonearm and/or cartridge.
