Unclekrusty I challenge you to try to find a dealer demonstrating a Spectral/MIT system. Listen for yourself as to whether the MIT cable is acting like a filter. I think you will be surprised by what you hear.
I had similar preconceived notions before hearing a Spectral/MIT system at Overture Audio in Delaware. I had never heard a system do such a good job of getting out of the way of the music. It had greater low level resolution, transparency, clarity, and purity than any other system I had ever heard. As far as I could hear, the MIT cabling was not doing any filtering whatsoever.
I have subsequently purchased a Spectral amp and preamp and have nearly finished re-wiring with MIT cables. I couldn't be happier with the gains in transparancy, etc.
