    They won't even read the ChrisWiggles thread at AVS where a member couldn't pick out his Opus MM cables from Monster Cable. Save your breath.

    All it takes are few good questions to shut you guys up and put you in to Ad-hom attack mode. If I didn't know better I would swear there is an unpublished script that is followed here.

    Clueless, classless, priceless.

    Grow up and try out some other audio enthusiast boards.

    Perhaps it is time for you to follow your own advice?:mad:

    When you try to be witty with the weak come-backs, well it's time to stop trying and just make a valid point.

    So the MIT cables can only make a difference on expensive systems? It's like the character in Mystery Men who is only invisible when no one is looking.

    They wouldn't make something like the Zaph ZRT 2.5's any better? Do the physics involved with the MIT product only work with really expensive setups?

    It seems my point buzzed your tower, once again. I'll dumb it down for you. You, as in you, yourself are a troll as in one who causes trouble for troubles sake. You add nothing of merit to any discussion here, you have no point and that is your point, to be pointless. That should be clear, concise and to the point. However, should you require further explanation as to your pointlessness, please let me know.

    Point:

    Anything that has the marketing hype like MIT cables shouldn't only be able to produce improvements with someone running a $50K setup.


    Point:

    You go straight into Ad-hom attack mode when you can't carry on a cordial discussion or have nothing of value to add.

    Point:

    I don't see you at any of the other major audio enthusiast sites. They wouldn't tolerate your constant diarrhea of the mouth. Lets face it: you think you are the smartest person that you know.

    Now if I had said:

    MIT's application process is to see which sheep they can fleece vs weeding out those they think won't buy. Then that MAY be a trolling type of statement.

    But that isn't what I posted. I still think that them putting a credit hold on a card should be good enough. 100's of people out there saying they love what your product does is never a bad thing.

    Your logic is ignorant. I have a set of Mit bought through word of mouth and nothing else no marketing hype. They have a cable for every budget you ignorant troll. I don't post much but you bring out the worst in board members with you ignorant logic. Go back to the darkness from which you came demon.

    LOL, you guys and your internet fights....

    It doesn't make sense, all of these "do cables matter" threads. Those who believe they do have bought some already for the most part and have heard a difference, and those who believe they don't make a difference usually won't listen to opposing opinions anyways. So who is benefiting? Outside of me and my Heineken, who finds reading such threads rather amusing right now...

    Feel free to do more than state 'Your logic is ignorant'. I can see you are a master debater.

    I understand they have a cable for every budget. But if you could read you would have noticed the title of the thread.

    Upon further research you would have enlightened yourself by finding out that MIT is only lending certain cables out of their product line up. You also would have found out that you have to pass some form of litmus test.

    It must be a slow night on AVS for the 'link lemmings' - probably a group dare to see if they can come 'save' us all from believing cables can make a difference cuz we actually kept our minds open and tried it ourselves..ya know...in the spirit of scientific observation....

    No one is saying you do or don't hear a difference. You are just asked to pick it all out in a double blind a/b/x test...

    That is you can follow the bouncing ball that would be YOUR cable.

    Once again, you have no point because MIT has cables at all price levels, which will make improvements to even entry level gear. Although, I doubt there is hope for your Kraco set up.

    jinjuko, I'm sure you've figured out by now that these guys take cable talk very seriously. Especially MIT cables that have a rather large following here. If guys say they hear a difference in their system with different cables then why not just respect their opinion. You might be of a different opinion & that's fine too. It's a non winnable argument for both camps on the issue. It just creates hostility & attacks as you can plainly see.

    Please don't say anything about amps! :D

    Since I own Parasound and DIY Zaph ZDT 3.5's I wouldn't presume to speak for them.

    My setup, especially given the price, is no slouch by any means. Maybe some Bose owners could benefit from some MIT cables.

    But even if I could...according to the AVS link lemmings, it would be statistically insignificant and my ability would be discounted as an anomaly or because of the placebo effect - either way the 'object'ivists would object to the outcome.

    I much prefer to rely on my own sound and open minded DIRECT observations.

    I am sure that big Pharma would love to approach clinical trials of their product in the same way:rolleyes:

    AVS would love to find someone that could pass a double blind A/B/X test... if you can pass beyond what the scientific community would consider statistically significant AVS would publish it. They have nothing to hide.
