The reason the MIT's are so "emotionally involving" may have something to do with their cost. When you spend that much on cables, sound be damned, there is a certain degree of emotional connection. Things that make you and others (if they knew) question your sanity, a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I feel lucky, I got mine at a great price (still insane) and am happy in the fact that if a "giant killer" comes along at a fraction of the cost or even more for that matter, I can sell the MIT's without losing my tail. And that is always a stabling feeling in this hobby. Blbloom I concur.
Most emotionally involving cables?
I'm auditioning various cables and recently heard the Audio Magic Excalibur II Interconnects and Speaker Cables. Detail, air, quiet, but what struck me most of all was how I immediately fell into the music. Now this isn't the most expensive cable, or the only one that can do this, I'm sure. I'd like to know what other cables have really pushed people into the music, whatever they're made out of.
