Vintage MIT MI-330


Dear all
I have recently bought a used MI-330 interconnect.
It appears quite old, and while it is directional, there are no boxes attached, which apparently allow impedance adjustment.
I wonder, are these cables still worthy contenders? I like their sound, but I guess that current designs would outperform them by a huge margin. Is that indeed the case?
Thanks a lot!

The (original) MIT 330's are still great cables, just like the Straightwire Maestro and Maestro II. The boxes came later, and are an unnecessary electronic affectation IMO (unless of course your running lengths over 15 ft.)

I have a whole bunch of the stuff, but it all needs re-terminating. BTW, the arrowhead should point to the end of the cable where the shield is joined with the RCA ground 'ring', while the other end of the shield is left unconnected (floating).

The arrowhead end of all interconnects should attach to the preamp (including the pair between the preamp and amp.) The directional arrows have nothing to do with "current flow", since in AC (like a music signal) the current flows back and forth equally.

Thank you so much. I've been trying for years to get a straight answer on what goes where on directional cables and you've explained it beautifully.
Hello Joe,
With regards to the "interconnect" connection, between the Amplifier and Preamplifier, are you saying the arrow head should point in the direction of the pre-amp not the amplifier ? Or should the arrow head be pointed in the direction the music flows, and pointed towards the amplifier from the preamplifier.

All the best...
