Nordost v MIT

Any thoughts...I have been using a combination of these cables....Mostly the less expensive ones, and have yet to decide on which I think is better...I was wondering if anyone had experience with the middle level from both of these companies....For example, how does Red Dawn sound in comparison to the "shotgun" cables?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Ben,

These cables are polar opposite's, IMHO. The Nordost that I've heard are very quick and transparent, in the right system. The MIT tend to be warm and full bodied, in the right system. The Nordost can sound lean and harsh in the wrong system, while the MIT can sound slow and bloated in the wrong system.

I'm having a hard time imaging these two cable brands co-existing in the same system. If it works for you though, then stick with it.

Cheers,
John

Ben,

You have to ask yourself, 'am I happy with my current sound?'. If so, quit while you're ahead.

If you think you can do better, and you like the change the Nordost made in your speaker cables, then go ahead and try the interconnects by all means.

Just so that you know that sometimes cables can 'balance' each other out sonically. Meaning that your all 'warm' MIT may have been boring, and the Nordost speaker cables may have added some well appreciated 'zing', too much 'zing' may not suit your tastes either.

However, more 'zing' from the interconnects may or may not be what you are looking for. The only way to find out is to try them for yourself. Buy them used on AGoN, if it doesn't work, sell them. Then you'll know.

Cheers,
John
