Speaker Cable Too Short What to do?


Greetings, I just bought a pair of expensive mit cables but one of them does not quite reach my amp by a foot. What an idiot I am!!!!
I am playing around with the furniture to try to make things work, but is there anything else I can do? Can I use an mit jumper to extend the short cable? Will that degrade the sound? Does it matter that one speaker cable will be longer than the other?

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!

>> please don't use the empty catch phrases of a failed and humiliated administration<< what, pray tell, are you suggesting david99 said? and what is a "failed and humiliated administration"? i can't tell whether you're speaking of george bush, the first, or dubya. your last post directed at david99, who's contributed much more to these discussions than have you, is unnecessarily mean spirited. you would do well to offer an apology. -cfb
I agree Kelly. If fatparrot was saying bad things about the Bush administration he should apologize.

Although David 99 has proven his value around here time and again, your backing him up is most likely appreciated.
Thanks guys-my only problem is some people seeme to enjoy knocking a product then trying to justify it.If a product works fine in a system thats all that matters.Not its cost,reputation,reviews or how many are for sale on AudiogoN.The fact is there may be lots of MIT for sale here but then again,LOTS of MIT is out there.
I've heard all the MIT bashing before but I know MIT T-2's improved my system.I auditioned Kimber 8 TC and Harmonic Tech.Pro-11's and liked the MIT the best.Sure some will say,"MIT's a bandaid,well ya shouldnt have to put a bandaid on it" I don't feel the MIT's are a bandaid.They reducesed some upper mid brightness I had without losing anything in return.Then you will hear "you should have replaced the source,or the amp,or the speakers,or a tube,or room treatment,or,or,or...The MIT worked for me and they arent crap in 'my' system anyway.They may be crap in another system just like 100 other cables may be.
I propose AudiogoN audiophile's STOP product bashing and open there minds up more.
