David99, you obviously didn't understand my second post!!! When asked for an option, I (along with Ljgj) gave him what I thought was his BEST option, as he would have to replace the cables anyway TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THE RIGHT WAY, according to his own parameters. His second post stated that he loved the cables, they were the 'right cables' for his system, and was quite happy with them. Had he stated this in the first post, I would have NEVER denigrated his choice, but this information was NOT available until AFTER my first post. Once I express an opinion, I WILL NOT retract it, so that someone won't be offended, even if it appears 'mean spirited'. Taking a beating on the used market, or buying into a manufacturer's marketing ploy is more offensive! I feel that cables present the greatest opportunity for hucksters and charlatans out of ANY COMPONENT IN HIGH END AUDIO!!! I'm certainly not implying that MIT is not above board; they are a large, well respected, and QUALITY manufacturer. I just don't agree with their design philosophy, and apparently, I'm NOT in the minority (read my second post). Audio is a very personal experience, much like a favorite food! Some people are happy with a $399.99 Circuit City mini-system. God bless 'em! They're going to save HUGE sums of money if they don't get bitten by the audio bug! If you have a high end system that brings you pleasure, then my opinion really doesn't matter. As sophistication grows, certain items don't seem so sophisticated even with all the "gosh golly gee-whiz" technology that is used as a marketing tool. I stand by my comments. Feel free to dispute them using facts, but please don't use the empty catch phrases of a failed and humiliated administration!
