MIT Shotgun Question.

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.

I have owned many Mit cables over the years. Edgy midrange? No way.
I believe the cables have revealed a problem not related to the cable.
Just my opinion. Obviously Mit sells a boatload of cables.and I think that
if the midrange was edgy they wouldn't sell.

"Can I use barrel connectors and chain multiple IC's for burn in."

I've never considered that before. It may be ok with some cables, but I would not recommend trying that with the MIT's. However, you can always call MIT to get their opinion.

"the midrange was too forward and edgy."

I have to agree with Drjoe, no way.

I called Joe Abrams who I bought the IC's from and who is a MIT Dealer and he said no that it is not recommended to use barrel connectors and chain them together.He told me I needed to put them where they are going to stay and break them in that way.So that is what I am doing.We had a long discussion on the IC's and I feel more relaxed about this whole thing now.
I am running the IC's in from the time I get off work and all night at low volume and am shutting it down when I go to work.So essentially they are getting 14 hours of break in per day.And I am not doing any critical listing and will not till around the 350 recommended break in.

If they are interconnects just hook them up to a tuner or a cable bos output on one end and into your preamp at the other end.
You can turn off the Amp and let them run continuosly.

Better yet use a Audiodharma cable cooker. I have one that if you pay for return shipping, I would cable cook them for about 3-4 days.
