MIT Shotgun Question.


I have shotgun S3 from cdp (rotel 1072)to rotel pre 1069(in bypass mode) to rotel 1075 amp.The setting from cdp to pre is set at high as pre input sensitivity is 100kohm.The setting in shotgun S3 is set at low for pre to amp as amp is 33kohm.
Does anyone using Mit interconnects stay with the recommended settings?Reason I ask is when I set the IC going from pre to amp everything is very clean and crisp but lacks in musicality and is very cold sounding.There is just no smoothness to the music.But if I set the IC to medium from pre to amp the sound stage opens up and though there is a slight loss of clarity everything sounds more rounded.smooth and open.
Could the specs on my amp be wrong?This is not just with music from cdp but with all sources.Tv,dvd,bluray.Any thoughts from MIT users would be appreciated.Thanks.

Shaunp, the generation 3 versions are out now and they are even better sounding. If you bought the S3's from Joe, you can probably recoup your investment and just pay an upcharge to get the newest stuff. I have the S1.3 spkr cables and will be getting the S1.3 Proline IC's next. What are you using for spkr cables?? The MIT Shotgun speaker cables would be the biggest improvement you could make, even more so than the IC's..FYI. I had been running previous generation Oracle products but I cashed them in and got the Shotgun stuff instead...my system sounds better in some aspects than it did with the $18K rig:O) The MIT power cords will also move your sound to a whole new level as well!!
The in-wall Z stabilizer super outlet conditions and has surge protection...you will experience better sound and picture wt surge protection. Missioncoonery is saying that unless you are using MIT speaker cables, you are limiting your system.
Audiofeil is correct due to the variance of human preference regarding things audio. After listening to even more alternative cables over the last year however, I have still not heard a better cable than MIT... IMHO.
One thing is for sure, I've never heard a bigger, deeper and more acousticaly complete musical soundscape than with MIT products. You can get softer, smoother, richer etc...but not more realisic:O) FYI, the new Gen 3 cables have a very close kinship to the MA cables vs the previous generation stuff. I am amazed at the more visceral and palpable presentation generated by my S1.3 cables vs my older V2.2 cables. There is also better definition and detail retrieval.
Hang on to the Gen 3 cables...MIT is starting to cheapen up it's cable line. Circuit boards for almost all cables now...gen 3 stuff still has discreet components=better sound overall!
