    It's speaker cables, bi-wire, 10ft.

    The cables are for the Capital Audiofest and MIT is supporting me with cables. All Magnum 3.3 with AC1 power cords and a ZStrip.

    Wow! A lot of cables for such little money. :cool:

    One speaker wire (not a pair) would easily surpass that much. MIT is a bargain now since it's made in China!
    Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin:

    I take it you've never heard them.

    There's a MIT demo program running on the forum right now, you could try some for yourself and then be able to answer your own question.

    Geez......chill out. The reason I asked is because last year they were not cooked before the show.

    I'm not in a rage Wood Jedi. As far as the show went I don't believe it made any difference on what we were showing really. Everything was received well and even the LSi was pretty tightly wound by Saturday night. By Sunday we had 50+ hurs on them since I left them on 24/7....coulda been worse.

    I can burn everything but the power cords...well maybe a few of them but I don't believe them to be that important. Can you burn some of these for me in your secondary HT rig? I know that the MF didn't care for the Magnum series....right?

    she has talent, colors and design really compliment sofa, not kidding, however, the curtains have to go......sorry.

    And, did i just miss it, or has there been a strict, blind listening test, with very experienced audio experts and real people,listening and trying to pick out which listenings were the ones using very expensive ics and or speak wire, and which listenings were good quality, normal people priced hookups.

    Seems to still be some pretty heated debates about benefit of exp. connects.

    Multiple, blind tests would settle it one way or the other in my mind.

    Not that i could afford them still, but at least i would form an informed opinion.

    Just wondering.
