Beware:The Threshold amplifiers are very wide bandwidth units.The MIT and its' interface box may cause your amps to go into oscillation.Be sure to have a return policy and be near the power switch-should problems develop.You'll jnow as soon as the amps are powered up.
Nordost Vahalla or Mit Oracle
Has anyone compared Nordost vahalla speaker cables to Mit Oracle v2.2 ? Both of these are on the used market in my budget ($5000.+-) I am using Mit mh770 right now, amps are upgraded Threshold T-400s (2 in mono mode) and speakers are Duntec C-5000 (princess). I have used Mit products for years, with no issues, but hear such good talk about Nordost

Check out these, then go spend the rest on a piece of better equipment. http://show.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/shm.pl?cablspkr&1144365225&item&Audiorevelation&4&5&6&http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/srch_fs.plQQANYAAKEYWAApurlsrchAAEXYAAstAAAAsupra_sword |
Actually, the Supra sword super-duper cool technology is not new at all. Opposing signal transmission has been around for quite along while for inductance reduction/elimination. LAN (RJ-45) cables utilize this phenomenon. Those DIY LAN cable speaker wires we have all seen on many sites specifically mention that when terminating the 4-pair 24 gauge wires...you use one from each pair for the +, and one from each pair for the -. Simple aint it? CHEERS! |
Threshold does confirm they do not recomend MIT speaker cables with their amps, for the reason you described. This makes the decision a whole lot easier. Thanks for the heads up. It seems strange though, I have been using these mh770s (MIT) for years with these amps, with no issues, but my previous amp (Threshold S 500) did overheat as soon as it was hooked to them. |
