Do you know whether your MITs have had time to fully burn-in yet? ![]()
I have a similar requirement to connect a SoulNote Equalizer’s balanced output. Their own interconnect cables are unshielded, solid copper in foamed FTPE dielectric. In other words, vastly different from multiply shielded, stranded exotic alloys found in almost every other cable.
The reason is interesting. SoulNote says music is a waveform delivered in time, not a Fourier transform delivered in the frequency domain. Almost all cable measurements focus on the frequency domain.
Why no shielding? Well, the cables are balanced so EMI should equally affect the + and -, cancelling out. Shielding increases capacitance, which smears the signal in the time domain.
