Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables?

hi, does anyone know of other brands interconnects and speakers cables that have a house sound that's similar to MIT cables? but without those MIT network box? MIT cables sound relax, a tad laid back, yet clear and no veil/curtain between performance and listener, dynamic are natural without harshness.

Thanks for any replies.

Phil.... MIT's have boxes on them...the only other speaker cable that sounds LIKE those are Transparent Audio cables (they use boxes too). If you get away from cables with networks on them you may find some renewed dynamics in the system. But the cable will have to be pretty uncolored to compete with the MIT's on the sweeter side. Check out Kimber Kable or Audioquest for a neutral cable with no boxes on them.

Silent Source has similar sonics to MIT. Natural with smooth highs, very open, laid  back. Slightly warm compared to MIT.

hi lowrider,

thank for the info! does it(silent source) have a wide soundstage and coherence in placement of orchestral instruments? meaning the sound from instruments are image well and easy to follow, not smear nor hazy?

thanks again.

philip,
I auditioned Silent Source's Signature speaker cables thru the Cable Company. They have a wide, deep soundstage, are transparent and very focused. I was playing Classical music. They sounded more organic to my ears than MIT. 
Really terrific imaging of instruments.

In the end, I chose Purist Audio over them because I liked their warmth.
