MIT Demo - Round 2

mdschlayer · March 2009

Put me next in line please. I'm curious how these CVT compare to the Shotguns I have now.

strider · March 2009

Thanks for throwing my name on there Ricardo, I appreciate it.

Thanks, too, to Mr. Fish and MIT. Stuff like this makes it hard to consider other peoples cables!

Toolfan66 · March 2009

If and when i can be in. I would sure like to.

polkatese · March 2009

Some of the MIT used cable prices are schedule to go up (significantly, I might add) on Monday...if anyone in the market, this weekend has been designated as MIT shopping days.

TNRabbit · March 2009

AWESOME~

I'm glad I got in on this early!

artinaz · March 2009

me please too.

I am not sure if you only have one speaker cable.........................sorry Ricardo

hey did you ever get the return done on that Emu? did they pay for it?............sorry Ricardo

This is really an opportunity for our members and shows how the vendors do understand where it is at.........Like Club Polk. When you get ready to buy some MIT, Joe Abrams on the Gon has been the man for many of us. Now the Fish needs to get some Oracles out to dance with.

Ted, Ted.....

TOOLFORLIFEFAN, Just remind me when you get to six months and I'll add you to the list.

Artinaz, you are still not at the 6 months, you don't have feedback yet. Time will tell.

mdschlayer, I put you in. Active participation is also a requirement, so you have some time to do that outside of the flea market

nikolas812 · March 2009

Glad you transfered the list.;)

And since I didn't get a chance to demo the last ones. No Rig at the time.

I would like to be moved to the top of the list.:D

Or please drop the demo to 2 weeks....

4 weeks seems a little excessive IMO...

Either way thanks for doing this...

Ricardo · March 2009

I am considering moving the demo time to three weeks. Since they will be already burnt in, three weeks should be enough to get a feel of what they do to your rig.

They have 112 hours so far, and I like what I'm hearing

Ricardo · March 2009

Cables will be on the move on Monday. Brock comes next after several asked to be moved further down the list.

They have been on my rig for a little over 250 hours, so they should be burned in already. I am still pondering how to write my impressions, since this would not be an apples to apples comparison. I am running balanced Shotgun S3's, so whatever differences could be attributed to the gear running single ended vs. balanced, and not the cables. Ok....maybe a combination of both.
I'll write something in the next few days.

Mad props on the idea of linking a pic so you can edit the list:)

x2 on that. Excellent idea Ricardo.:)

My 6 months is coming up...only 19 more days! I'll be jumping in on this once those 19 days are up.

They are here and I've spent a little time with them so far.......I have excellent first impressions........

comfortablycurt · April 2009

Well, as of today I've been a member here for 6 months.

I'd like to be added to the list to demo these please.:)

zx_toth · April 2009

I'd like to be in on this as well if possible. I am in Ontario, Canada. If someone who knows the size and weight of the package could send that information to me I will check how much it would cost to send it to me from the person who would be before me in line to recieve it. If it is assessed to be a reasonable cost I would top up sender's postage above what it would cost to send it within the US and I would than pay for the full amount to send it to the next recipient.

Since there is no one in my town of 1500 people that seems remotely interested in our hobby this would be my only chance really to experience this type of product any time soon. Since the waiting cue is quite long at this point I will be able to get my rig a bit more up to par (seperates, quality player) by the time these puppies would arrive.

Looking forward to hearing what you guys think.

heiney9 · April 2009

I'm about done with these. Probably try to get them out by weeks end. I'll be in contact with the next person in-line......SKSolutions.

H9

treitz3 · April 2009

Hey, if there is still room on the list.....I'll give 'em a whirl.

Ricardo · April 2009

Updated list

No reason not to include our friends from the north. We will figure out shipping costs.

Brock, when you ship them please post here dimensions and weight.

It's two boxes, and for reference I paid $25 to ship (Cincinnati to Chicago).

comfortablycurt · April 2009

Thanks Ricardo! I'm looking forward to demoing these.

From the looks of the list so far, I won't be getting them until sometime late next year...lol

That'll work out for me though. I'll have some much better equipment by the time that rolls around.:)

zx_toth · April 2009

Thanks Ricardo!!! Much appreciated!

Thats what I was thinking .... it would be almost two years before I get to them :eek: but to put these cables into my system would be embarassing at this point because of my lack of a good player (CDP, SACD) so closer to the date I will be a bit more worthy to use these

heiney9 · May 2009

I've contacted SKSolutions and he has provided me with an address so these will be going out Monday to the next person in line which is SKSolutions. I'll provide Ricardo with the tracking number as well as SKSolutions.

You're in for a treat.

Ricardo · May 2009

Looking forward to your review Brock.

SKsolutions · May 2009

Received from H9, apparently safe and sound, boxes in excellent condition. Will unpack later today, and add them to the rig soon. Yay!

SKsolutions · May 2009

This is my second go around with MIT, thanks to the forum, Ricardo, and of course MIT. The only major change to the rig is the substitution of the Dynaudios in place of the LSis, and all I can say is WOW. wow. I left Ben's silver cables in the source spot to start, and used one set of IC's with the speaker cables, with the cumulative and beneficial result being the equal of a component upgrade. There would be no mistake in an A/B comparison, vs the AQ's. None. I'd just need to hear one drumbeat, cymbal, or guitar string. I've got all three in now, and giving that a go presently. I don't believe that all speakers would benefit this much, but the Dyns absolutely love these cables. . . the LSis preffered the AQ's. I'll try my best to post something coherent in the coming weeks, although I'm sure I'll have these on to Ascubie before then.

amulford · May 2009

I see my name is on the list. Excellent, I will try to compare these to the Shotgun S3 series. Way cool!

Conradicles · May 2009

Well...

SKsolutions · June 2009

Packed and shipped to Ascubie, should be there today.

Big Dawg · June 2009

I'd like to get on this list as well, if it's possible. By the time it will get around to me, I'll be well within the qualifications.

I just received a pair of MIT EXP1 speaker cables (about $200 list), so they'll be well broken in. It will be interesting to hear the differences between their lower and higher priced lines.

Sunday I'm buying nspeidel's TL modded SDA 2Bs.
