    Pretty much identical unless you are into splitting hairs. I bet most couldn't tell the difference so I think the descriptions provided in the demo program will be very close if not spot on as to what he can expect.

    Currently my IC's are SC analog 2s and will be getting MIT CVT-2 ICs this week. Where should I place the MITs to utilize them the most? Between the CDP/preamp or the preamp/amp?

    Try both, but keep in mind that MIT cables perform best when all are the same, including speaker cables.

    I am in a similar situation, I had to cap the budget at speaker and (1) pair of interconnects. Joe from Equess recomended the higher quality cables between the cd and preamp. I'm waiting for the Shotgun 3.3s to arrive early next week.

    Yep. Running a full assortment of CVT-2's at the moment.

    Zero. I'm thinking of doing the same. How do you like them?
