Thiel Owners

remember to let them burn in before making a serious evaluation.  i like the Clear Reflection a lot but did not evaluate others as my friend Bob did that for me.  I was using Analysis Plus and they were good but these seemed very relaxed and detailed and natural sounding. 

Sld4,

The EVO’s have no sonic signature, nothing gets in the way of the music.  MIT has done a good job with the heritage series with trickledown technology from their megabuck cables.

They have bridged the gap between musical and resolving.  I have used lots of MIT cables in the past, the EVO 2’s are the best I’ve had in my system.  

They are expensive however as MIT has never been bashful with their price/marketing leadership position.  Their heritage series at least offers a good taste of their top cables at somewhat affordable prices.  

pops,

Thanks for the additional info on the MIT EVO's! Your description sounds great, though they are somewhat expensive - at least in terms of what I'm used to. Finding the balance between musical and resolving seems to be the holy grail of cable design, and the EVO's seem to achieve that in your system.  

ronkent,

I agree about the need for cable burn-in. The Clear Sky IC's I have were burned in by the dealer before I received them.

I would be very pleased to have a cable in my system that was "relaxed," "detailed," and "natural" sounding (as you described the Clear Reflection in your system).

sdl4 - an outsider you might consider is Morrow. I ended up outfitting my studio with Morrow ICs and speaker runs. My comparisons weren't terribly extensive, but I did read widely and compare against some old Kimber, Straightwire, OCOS, Mogami, MIT, Magnum, and Audioquest, all from the 1980s. I landed at Morrow's "4" series as their cost-effective sweet spot. Morrow direct markets with periodic discount sales and a generous return policy.
If you do give them a try, or if anyone else here has tried Morrow, I am interested in your reports. To my ear it meets your "relaxed, detailed and natural" criteria at a modest price.
