I opened both MIT and Transparent netwks

I have opened both MIT and Transparent networks to see what was in them. In both cases, it was very similar. In both, I found an inductor, capacitor, and a resistor. They were connected between the signal and ground in a novel way. Both were encased in an epoxy or glue that I had to break to see what was in it. The wire in both networks appeared to be just simple copper wire, and the soldering work was sloppy and ugly. It made me very upset. However, I do think that both MIT and Transparent make very good cables- the MIT's excel in bloom and soundstaging while the Transparents allow a deep silence between notes- a very low noise floor. BTW, I have also cut open a transparent reference digital interconnect, audioquest corals, NBS, and Cardas twinlinks and hexlinks. The Cardas had amazing workmanship and wonderful soldering in even their cheapest cable.

Mes, I was the one who asked about cutting open a hot dog. Unfortunately, I shouldn't have asked. From your findings, my next question has to be is the $0.99 dogs better than the $5.99 gourmet dogs or is it VODOO?

3C- I've not A/B'd the various subtypes of this fine cuisine at a microscopic level, however I'd guess more $$ = less filler. My personal backyard grill favorite is Hebrew National, a mighty fine tasting weiner. Significantly more palatable than either MIT or Transparent. Now thats voodoo.

Ralph's Markets (in CA) has their own private label hard skinned dogs which are killer. I consumed three of them last night and now need to lay low on the sodium for a couple of days, but it was worth it.

Who would of have though hot dogs have fillers. You figure it contained stuff that is of abundant which are left overs that no one wants. Nevertheless, nothing can satisfy the munchies like a hot dog. Dekay and Mes, thanks for the tip and you're both making me hungry. Since it's about lunch time in California, I think I'll make a quick dash to the local Weinerschnitzel and order a couple of some good old American soul food known as hot dogs with extra mustard. Happy eating. Btw, I just wish they stop making healthy dogs (like all turkey or all tofu dogs). That stuff just erks me because it defeats to whole definition of what a hot dog should be. I want to bad stuff that takes away the last bad years of my life.
