MIT Shotgun Question.

You know I am going on the 2/2 break in period.2 days per MIT and they are 75% broken in.2 weeks fully broken in.Well 75% is absolutely terrible.What I do not understand is why at the setting they should be set they are terrible.But out of the box they sound very good at the wrong setting.Hell my old Monster IC's sound better than these.There comes a point in time where enough is enough as I have been buying and selling cables now for over a month and still am right back where I started from.
When I first started this journey I called the cable company and asked for a recommendation on some IC's in the 150 to 100 dollar range and they suggested a 250 dollar cable and now I am spending in the 300 dollar range per IC and it is just time to let well enough alone.
Maybe my gear is just not high end enough for exotic cables that you plug into the wall or have switch boxes on them.Got to say though that they sure look nice but just do not do my system any justice.Thanks for the reply's.

"I have been buying and selling cables now for over a month and still am right back where I started from."

Yes, so I read. You are trying to rush what cannot be rushed. Slow down, live with a set of cables for awhile. Patience is truly a virtue in this hobby.

Ok ..Point well taken.I am going to cancel my selling of these IC's and do a full burn in on them.Only because of what is suggested here.So I have over 200 more hours more to put on them and then will give a critical listen and will post my results.Thanks.

One last thing.Can I use barrel connectors and chain multiple IC's for burn in.Thanks

Shaunp,

I owned 2 pairs of MIT S3 and an 8ft pair of Bi-wire S3 cables as but found the midrange was too forward and edgy.So, the first thing I done was to audition a new speaker wire, which I tried a biwire pair of MI2 Goertz and heard thing I've never heard with the MIT's and the edgy forward sound was gone and a very detailed with precise imaging and staging was almost lifelike. So I replaced the RCA with AQ Columbia and the same thing happened so I sold the MIT and returned the AQ and bought 2 pairs Dynamic Design MK2 IC and a 8ft pair of Bi-wire cable and man did my system change tremendously. My speakers really came to life, with the sounstage imerging from a blacker back ground. Imaging and depth is beyond the borders of the speakers and the speakers are totally invisible. Try as many cables as can and buy what sound right in your system. Give DD cables a try and see what you've been missing, the music.
