    Signal cables is the way I chose to go. They make some mighty nice stuff. The 2s are very reasonable. I'm working my way through my system replacing all the AR Masters cables with the Signal Cable Silver ICs.

    Ok, I'll bite WTH is a mickey mouse cable? I'm betting it has nothing to do with Disney.

    I'm gonna venture a guess and say it's an XLR cable.

    Ah, ok makes sense now. Never heard them called that before.

    My vote would be for Signal Cable or Ben's cables if he's still making them I have a pair of Signal's and they do the job nicely (not currently using them). Decided to go back to single ended. I think it sounds better w/the MIT's, plus I don;t currently have any Mickey Mouse MIT's.
