Najo, new MIT cable have impedance matched cables to work better with tubes etc. I am puzzled why many people look down at MIT, I own some MIT 330 shotgun ICs and find they do some things extremely well, my ears tell me they know what they are doing. I also own ICs by Silver Audio, Harm. Tech, and Analysis Plus.....each have their own strengths and weakness....BTW never pay full price for MIT, buy used or go to Audio Advisor for discontinued models, Sam
