MIT's not good for tube components?


I was at a hi-fi store the other day and started chatting with the owner regarding improving my system and such. We got to the subject of cables, and I mentioned that I was using MIT 2 biwire for speaker cables and MIT 330 shotguns for IC's. He quickly mentioned that I needed to get new cables, because MIT's weren't good for tube components. I wasn't sure if he was trying to get me to buy cables from him or if in fact MIT's are deficient for tube components.

Any comments regarding this?

Also, if you have any recommendations for speaker cables and IC's that may mate well with my system, I would appreciate them.

My system:
Vandersteen 2ce sig
Eastern Electric Minimax tube CDP
TAD-150 sig tube preamp
McCormack DNA-1 deluxe

I have replaced out the MIT 330 shotguns with Kimber Silver Streak throughout my system. It was a huge improvement.

What do the network cable boxes/modules on cables manufactured by MIT and Transparent do?

I've changed out all my MIT cables with Kimber Silver Streak IC's and 8TC speaker cables. This seems to complement my system better. Could not figure out my initial question of MIT's not being compatible with tube components however.
