MIT bashed, not Transparent, why?


First off, no name calling. Lets remember everybody hears things different but why is it that you see a lot of people downing MIT and not Transparent. (I have Transparent by the way)They are both "network" designed cables that are very expensive. I haven't tried the MIT in my system yet but I have heard it in demos that didn't sound bad.

FYI for MIT owners or those considering - I just received some 750+ S3's back from the factory - they were being reconfigured from biwire to single wire for my Thiels. I was using Kimber 8TC in it's place and the improvement was just short of unbelievable. I was skeptical because 8TC is a fine cable, it does alot of things right. I did think the MIT's would be an improvement, but subtle - maybe real subtle. Was I surprised! Everything you want from a system improved dramatically but especially the soundstage - it just completely filled up, got deeper, more air between instruments, singers, blacker background, better clarity, smoooother and the low level information that I was missing is all over the place. Bass is tighter and fuller - it just sounds natural and right. I am also using 330 shotgun IC's from dac to pre and pre to amp so my thoughts are that to really get the full benefit of these cables the whole system should be wired up for synergy. And no I don't work for MIT so any knuckleheads who want to post that - don't! Also I know there is some excellent wire out there and any certain brand is not for every system. I do know that Thiels are a good match and boy did I ever prove that. I know MIT is expensive wire but one of these days I'm going to venture into the reference stuff when my system is higher rez and see what it can do! Happy listening!
I agree with you Pops, whenever using MIT or Tranaparent they seem to work better if you do the whole system. Glad to hear of your success.
I'll tell you Pops it can do plenty more. I tried those 750 S3 tube cables which got me on the MIT bandwagon in the first place. Came across the 770 Reference tube cables at a good deal and even a money back from the seller if I wasn't completely satisfied. The first listen I didn't hear much difference maybe because the cables were cold. The second listen dropped my jaw. Better soundstaging, better bass, more palpability. More of everything that the 750's do. I'm a Believer but not a Monkee. Don't ya just love all this hi-end accolading and dismissing? Go to your room MIT you roll off the highs. HA.
OH MAN! I don't know how much more palpability I can take, I remember from one of your prev. posts your impressions about 770's. It made me drool. I really need to up my preamp - big jump or I would definitely make the jump now, or maybe I'll just jump now, miss a couple of tuition payments for my kids and I can do both but get thrown out but I can take the rig, er what to do - DAMN THIS HOBBY!
I agree with teh majority here. I enjoy the MIT cabels very much and have never given back a demo pair. On the other hand, I have never heard transparent's cables so I guess I am not truly speaking from an open experience. Still, every time I try a new MIT product the sound is ever better.
