Transparent cables are hit or miss depending on the components and they do filter the signal like a brick wall filter does above 20khz, hence they can sound soft and closed in on some systems. MIT does not have in-line filters and offers impedance matching technology for a better fit with any system. You can try them from the MIT lending library through Joe Abrams at Equus Audio and then purchase them new for a huge discount. If you love realistic sound reproduction (I'm around live acoustic instruments quite a bit), MIT get's it right!
Transparent Ref XL
I've been using a TA Ref, xl between my Wyred 4 Sound STI-1000 and cdp. I've noticed the outcome changes quite drastic pending on what PC i use for the amp. The higher resolution PC, the more open. I now would like to ask especially those that now this IC. What options, to the Ref xlr, xl version do you recommend?
I still notice, the Ref xl, is somewhat lacking (in my system) to convey microdynamics. It is somewhat nicely closed in the top, but it is sadly too much.
I have to say, if it was as it is, but more dynamic(micro especially), slightly more separation and openness - it would be better.
I guess you'd say, Ref MM or MM2. But those are too expensive. In the MIT line, do i have a contender here?
It does not need to be the latest rev. Also wonder about Purist Audio and Synergistic Research. Or do you have other recommendations as well?
All inputs are very appreciated.
Thanks!
