Received this email today. Since I believe the more information we have the better decisions we can make, this might help answer some questions. Then again it might raise questions.

The Bruce Brisson Interview: on MIT Cables technology
By Dagogo's Doug Schroeder - an independent high-end audio equipment reviewer
Bruce Brisson - Industry leader of high-end cable design, lead engineer and founder of MIT Cables answers questions from Doug Schroeder who sought and received clarification of the cable technology developed over the last 26 years at MIT Cables.
Audiophiles on either side of a so-called cable debate now have the chance to read Bruce Brisson's explanations of cable characteristics, faults, and his solutions for addressing the inherent weakness in "just cable."
From Dagogo's website:
"Between the first and second quarter of 2010, Doug Schroeder and Bruce Brisson, founder and lead engineer of Music Interface Technologies Cables, exchanged emails on an article that Doug was preparing. The result is the present Interview article. Among the 27 Questions asked by Doug, Bruce sent a 1,371-word reply to one of the questions. The depth of inquiry by Doug throughout the article is unprecedented in Dagogo's pages, and the revelations presented by Bruce's extremely well written responses are an industry insider's dream fulfilled. Dagogo is excited to share this in-depth interview article with our readers. Because of the length and scope of the article, it will be published in two parts. This is part 1 of 2."

Interesting read. Now I at least know what MIT means by articulation. -

Thanks.
I found this part interesting. It is exactly opposite of the path I have taken. And, it seems to be in conflict with the general belief that low level signals are the easiest to corrupt, so they should be the first to be addressed.
"Very honestly, I believe that both are needed. The system is only as good as its weakest link. However, if I were going to begin adding MIT cables to my system for the first time, I would work from the outside(s) in. That is, I would add speaker cables and interface or my CD cable or turn table cable first. Then maybe the preamp to amplifier cable next. Our latest turn table cables are very, very good, particularly the new Oracle MAX turntable cable."
However, I am not complaining. My MIT Shotgun S1.3 XLR ICs are kicking **** sound-wise. I will be interested to hear what improvement the sister speaker cables add.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable
