MIT or MITH?

I have mixed thougths on MIT. I've used two of their products and both malfunctioned due, IMHO, to poor construction. However, sonically both cables were of very high quality. Cables are a tremendous profit center for both manufacturers and dealers. Forgive me for preaching, but most audiophiles spend way to much of their system's budget on cales. By the way, it's my understaning that most cables are customized rebrands of OEM product. But then again, I really don't see anything wrong with that. By comparison most loudspeaker companies don't actually make their own drivers.

Soupcon and Tm12 are so smug. I guess I must not be listening with my ears, then. Nordost has a far higher profit margin than MIT...

Listen for yourself !!I have the latest High End Series Shotgun Cables in my 22k system and my 2 critical hifi buddies and I love them.What the MIT bashers dont tell you is that MIT has a 30 day money back guaranty in case they do not satisfy in a particular system. I believe that Audio Advisor also has the same policy on the closeouts as they come with warranty cards.

Please Please stop the talk of the cheap parts inside something. Under that logic, the cost of the raw material in a Lexus or Mercedes is not much different than a Chevy, so the Lexus or Mercedes must be a rip off.

Look the profit margin on the parts alone has nothing to do with it at all. In MIT's case they have spent millions of dollars on research so they have to and can charge more because they own the patents to the great sound there wire puts out. With all that being said I use their interconnects but no longer feel the need to shell out the bucks for expensive speaker wire since I found that a solid core 14 gauge from home depot ($6 for 25') works way better than $3800 wire. I'm not kidding either. It actually sounds better. Yeah it's really really stiff though.
