    Plain and simple.

    This is a religious experience.

    The vocal clarity, depth, and texture is SURREAL!

    If these do get better in time, I dont know how I will contain myself -- I may have to do jumping jacks!

    Wooooo Hoooo

    Also,
    Anyone who has used MIT ICs without the speaker cables are doing the cables an injustice...

    It was VERY apparent when the MIT speaker cables were thrown into the mix

    Trey the MIT's changed the way I listened to my system. Some time I'll move up the ladder to Shotguns.

    Glad your happy with the new cables. I can relate as I had this revelation when l completed the signal path from the DAC to the Dyn monitors with Nordost Frey cables. This was a significant step up from Harmonic Tech. Wish Nordost would have sales on their cables like MIT does.

    Maybe you need to go back to the Krell separates or get more resolving monitors so you can hear the difference cables make.;)

    I just won a pair of Shotgun S2 speaker cables and two pairs of S2 interconnects, so I glad to hear they sound good, I just hope they're not to short.

    Congrats!

    Now you get to go back to school to learn about cable management. Managing the weight of these bad boys takes some creative thinking.

    I just sat down for a quick demo and could notice immediately less noise in the sound field...

    Which was kind of what I was going for ---

    Will report more -- all in all, the improvement these cables have given me is HUGE. Incredibly huge.

    Be very quiet. Those guys in that other thread might hear us........

    Great that those cables are performing up to spec. Some day when

    Ah -- you would have to have MAJOR hearing loss or an incredibly low fi system to NOT hear the differences these cables bring to the table.

    I am listening to a CD that has been my reference for... lord - YEARS

    the accuracy, tightness, and overall clarity is amazing. Things I should have heard years ago I am only now hearing.

    Would do it over again, for sure.

    Yeah, that moron in that other thread thinks that almost all cables are made from Cat5 and that you can't do any better than Cat5. Like I said, he's a moron.
