Hi Joolz:
Both MIT and AudioQuest make a viable, practical instument, speaker and power cable. I've tested both in the store and loaned them to many musicians with positive results and feedback. Harmonic Technology is working on a line of cables for us as well. The so-so feedback you're receiving about the MIT's is regarding live performances. Most all of our electric guitar players said they thought the cable stripped something from their sound while they were playing, but raved about how much was transferred to the board during recording. Acoustic players and bassist's complained about this far less often. At first the AQ's were excellent sounding but microphonic, which rendered them useless for live performances. This problem has long since been corrected and their cables are as good as their recordings would seem to dictate. Every amp we've run with upgraded power cords has also sounded better, but as you know this is subjective as well. You really need to demo a few and see what you think in much the same manner as you would consider any cable for your stereo. Our musicians seemed as passionate about their opinions as our audiophiles. I thought this was a good thing!!!
Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to persue this further.
Sincerely,
Mario
