    Thank god. I just don't understand why some people have to stir the **** when they don't agree with what is posted. Just walk away.

    Anyway, I haven't heard any of the higher end MIT cables. My Terminators are the highest end MIT cables I have actually had my ears on but the high end Audioquest and Nordost cables my buddy's shop carries have been listened to extensively.
    My opinions on the matter have been discussed at length elsewhere on the forum so I won't regurgitate it here. But to summarize, as the level of cable increases, the differences in sound quality gets smaller and smaller in my view.

    Highest I've heard is magnum M1.1. I've been to several nordost and audioquest demos, and I frequent my local shop. I'm very familiar with the nordost line, and I agree the difference is noticeable, but less and less the higher you go up the line. I feel there is a point of diminishing returns with cables. I'm at the heimdall 2 level and this will be the highest I go. 900 dollar interconnects are good enough for me.

    You know what? I wish I could delete this thread, looks like some tried to start some more cable wars over it. This came up because I was showing my ol lady that loves my hobby but is not an audiophile what kind of gear is out there. So these were a great example of how much one can spend. I figured someone may have seen a demo at a show or something and could share what the found (not necessarily those cables but some really expensive ones) that's all.

    Bruce, I haven't heard that one, but a former MIT TOTL model. I was impressed.

    I'm not sure why some people have issues with statement cable products, yet never seem to have issues with other statement audio gear. It's the statement products that benefit most of the rest that can't afford $80k cables or $250k speakers as that technology trickles down. Pushing the limits should be encouraged and applauded.

    New MIT cables adjustable articulation [thread]
    I was surprised that you missed that thread.It initially was 10 pages in[late May early June 2016] that I think leaked into another tread or two!Although to the best of my recollection no mention of any unaffiliated professional reviews were sited in any subsequent threads since
