Strength:
Clarity, clarity, clarity. Very natural sounding. Great bass, very LOW and natural. Smooth mids and highs, not fatiguing at all.
Weakness:
Could use a little super high end sparkle, but the cables aren't fully broken in yet. I purchased these cables after reading all the hype and fully understanding the concept behind these cables. ALL cables I have purchased tend to be too damn bright. I use B/W CDM 9NT speakers which are very REVEALING (i.e can be a little bright). With standard cables (high end copper and silver wires), I found the sound to be sometimes a little fatiguing. Even with my all tube equipment. The reason for that is because all cables (other than MIT) are bright by nature. Its the physical charecteristic of wires/ cables that silver, copper, etc. cannot overcome. I know this because my Bro was a Devry student. Did you ever wonder why all amps, receivers, etc have tons of resistors, capacitors, etc inside? If not, it would sound like crap. That's what these cables do, they LINEARIZE the sound. What you see is what you get. You don't get any "artificial" colorations. PS - I've toyed with the idea of building my own silver wire speaker cables and interconnects. After pricing out raw materials, I can't beleiver how OVERPRICED most cables are. You can put together really good cables with top of the line components for less than $30. Don't buy into the hype. If you want silver connects, go to Stouts Interconnects. They sound great and are fairly priced. Similar Products Used: Kimber, Stout's, Eccosse, Monster. |

Strength:
Tremendous soundstage improvement to mid fi system
Weakness:
If I spent serious cash on a system, I would expect this result already This began when my Denon CDP bit the dust. I could not afford to buy the CDP I will eventually puchase, so I picked up a cheapo JVC DVD for interim use. (My video standards do not compare to my audio standards) I figured this was better than buying a CDP that I did not want. Similar Products Used: Various Audioquest & Monster |

Strength:
excellent bass, excellent mids, excellent highs, generally warm sound
Weakness:
none I can find I got these to go on my CD (my only source) and was blown away that these were better than the Kimber (which I still think are very good). I first got MIT T2 biwire speaker cables for my new Paradigm Reference Studio 100s (of which all the accolades are perfectly true - I could not be happier with them) and was totally transported to a new place when I listed to music. So, when I bought a new Sony CA80ES 5 disc changer, I also got MIT t2s for it and man, am I happy with them. They do expose poor recordings but oh well - the trade off for great transparency. My Mcintosh MC202 amp and C712 preamp expose this too but sound so much better than the Proceed I had before. Similar Products Used: various Kimber, Monster reference |

I recently installed MIT 2 interlink cables on my home theater system. A huge upgrade from the Monster 350i's I was using. Sorry Monster I am done with your products. I recently bought a Monster AC power cleaner 3500 series, it was defective out of the box, not to mention that out of six cables of the 350i's was defective. I returned all the MONSTERS and have been very pleased with the Panamax 1000 at half the price, and my new cables. I am much more of a Home Theater enthusiast than music listener. These cables have significantly cleaned up my system, not to mention cleaning out my wallet, Well worth it. My only other consideration was Transparent, the cost difference was the reason for going with the MIT. Equipment: |

Strength:
better than Radio Shack
Weakness:
performance to price This cable is better than your stock cables but the actual benefits do not really justify the price. I really feel that if you like the MIT sound, the MIT 330 Plus model is a much much better choice . The low frequency have much more authority and images and soundstage are much more focused. I've seen the 330 Plus for about $150 on clearance at Audio Advisor, that is bang for the buck. Similar Products Used: MIT 330 Plus |

Strength:
It gives a nice warmth to the sound from digital sources
Weakness:
A weakness to me is the rca connectors..like the monster locking plugs If you are thinking of buying these, and like me you move your equipment around a lot, do yourself a favor a buy the 330 series with the "new" style locking plugs. You insert them and then tighten a retaining ring. The T2 you have to twist then counterclockwise to get them off, fine but if you have two sets of them for something like pre-amp main-in then they are to close to twist and pull. Is like pulling teeth(or the components female rca)to get them out. Otherwise they are a fine sounding cable. I paid around the 50-60 used price for these. I paid $120 for the 330. The 330's seem like much made made cables, I will sell my T2 and get more 330. The sound is quite warm from both cables, the treble is much more laid back. For equipment like mine, the MIT line is a good product to try. Buy from audio advisor and try them for 30 days. Similar Products Used: MIT 330 plus series II |
