MIT or MITH?

Definitely not a "scam", Dragan. There are so many for sale, because so many people have them, and are likely upgrading (or, in the case of the T series, are being replaced by a more expensive T series). I've told you at least a hundred times why I like them, so I guess you want to hear from others as to "why". Dragan....or DRAG? heh heh heh...

I'll tell you a couple of facts, then my opinion. Fact: When MIT attends trade shows where they are trying to get new dealers, they have a sign up with 3 reasons one should carry their products. The first reason is PROFIT. A local electrician took apart one of their $250 interconnects and there was $10-$15 in parts cost (not including connectors). According to 'industry-insiders,' the only company that has a lower parts cost ratio is NBS. My opinion: there are far better cables available at far less cost. People are probably getting strong-armed into MIT by their dealers (wanting to gobble up that profit), and folks are figuring out they aren't very good. That happened to me a few yrs ago; what I thought was a reputable dealer 'highly recommended' the MIT to me & I bought into it. I sold them at a significant loss, and no longer frequent the dealer.

MIT is a scam.Most of the cables they sell can be bought in bulk 1000 foot spools for cents per foot.I have a Coincident Speaker Tech CST 1 interconnect.It sells for 299.00.It will make the most expensive MIT cable sound like the garbagre it is.Not their 300.00 their most expensive + 1000.00.Any fool who has bought this should listen to some other stuff and shoot the dealer who sucked them into buying this. There are the so called Audiophiles out there who have more money than brains.To them the hobby is about bragging how much they spent on gear.Listen with your ears.

In my opinion MIT has great products - I've used them off and on for almost 10 years. In fact, their latest series of cables the T's, series plus 3's, and shotguns are the best from them yet. I am using shotgun IC's and 750 plus 3 speaker cables and they are the best I've had in my system. As far as profit - what high end company doesn't have long margins? Take apart some other components and I guarantee you will be amazed and wonder why this preamp, wire or speaker is worth 5K. But if you like the sound then get out your checkbook. Also, there are other ways for suppliers and dealers to make profit on a line like "sales incentives" that has nothing to do with cost - markup ratio. Make no mistake - plenty of profit is being made, but so what. Thats why it is so important to do your homework before shopping and trust your ears, not salespeople and not consumers like the ones on this site.

I have mixed thougths on MIT. I've used two of their products and both malfunctioned due, IMHO, to poor construction. However, sonically both cables were of very high quality. Cables are a tremendous profit center for both manufacturers and dealers. Forgive me for preaching, but most audiophiles spend way to much of their system's budget on cales. By the way, it's my understaning that most cables are customized rebrands of OEM product. But then again, I really don't see anything wrong with that. By comparison most loudspeaker companies don't actually make their own drivers.
