Strength:

Soundstaging, imaging, bass weight and definition, midrange clarity, details become REALISTIC not just wow factors

Weakness:

Ugly boxes, the biwire "tails" aren't quite long enough so when hooked up to my standmounters the boxes hang down. Sonically, no shortcomings, especially for the price I paid.

For a long time, I was quite happy with my AudioQuest Type 4+ speaker cable. A good cable for the money, but as I upgraded my components one by one it eventually became a severe limiting piece of the chain. I didn't believe cable could make THAT much of a difference, so I didn't touch it. Until I happened upon a good deal on a set of Kimber 8TC. My jaw dropped, I couldn't believe all that I had been missing! The 8TC really impressed me, fantastic bass, etched images, extended highs. Very detailed. My local shop happened to be running a closeout on their MIT cables (the lines have changed), so I brought home a pair of MH750+S3 biwire to audition. To be honest, I really didn't want to like these cables... I had already invested in the 8TC, and those ugly terminator boxes... But after breaking them in and doing some A/B listening, I couldn't let these cables leave my house. The best way I can explain these MIT's is: muscially coherent. The 8TC's were very detailed, perhaps a smidge more so than the MIT, but they tended to present things as a series of stark images. The MIT seemed to reproduce each instrument, the space around the musician, and the space between the musicians; with the MIT in the chain the performance became a musically coherent whole vs. a series of images. It was almost as if I went from a 2-dimensional view to viewing all 3 dimensions. Soundstaging is absolutely enthralling. It was so beguiling when listening to 50's and 60's Jazz that there's no way I could let these cables leave my house!

Strength:

holographic detail, open, tranparent and good bass

Weakness:

soft tone on high, poor design with box on the cable.....

Bought this cable as non biwire to replace my Audioquest Gilbratar, these cable are so thick and there is big box in between the cable that look urgly to me, also difficult to bend round the corners. But once you connect them with right component they produce good sound. After experiment test on MIT and Audioquest cable onto my system, i found that Audioquest Gilbratar are lacking of bass which MIT produce good on low frequency, but Audioquest has a smooth good high compare to MIT that has soft tone on high. To make my system singing, i have to match MIT cable for overall performance and sold away Audioquest to a friend. My advice be aware if you match with wrong component on MIT cable. Happy listening, adios.... ;0) My component consist of : 1) ownself made power distributor terminated with AFA(Hera) cable 2) XLO ref2 type 10A power cord to Rotel 991 cd player 3) Audioquest AC12 power cord to Classe 151 integrated amp 4) Monster cable M1000i balance interconnect 5) Totem Acoustic Arro loudspeaker

Strength:

Great bass extension and definition Balanced and open mids and highs good dynamics

Weakness:

None yet

Traded up from MIT T2''''s. Matched with 330 Plus Series 3 Interconnects thru the chain. Great bass weight and definition. Midrange and treble well balanced and open. Presents a very dark background for the music to appear from. Even not yet broken in they represent a significant step up from the T2''''s. Not that the T2''''s were bad, in fact for the money they are excellent. Actually called MIT prior to purchase and spent approx 30 minutes on phone with an engineer discussing what I would expect to get with the cables. Great customer service. Very happy with the results

First of all, I'm not positive which version of the MH-750 Bi-wires that I tried because MIT (Bruce Brissom) changes the line so damn often. I ended up comparing these cables to the Music Wave Super bi-wire cable from Transparent. What impressed me most initially about MIT cable was the bass weight and punch. At first, I thought the cable was sonically pleasing, but after listening to my system for a while with the MIT in it, I began to think I was missing something. My conclusion after extensive listening was that the MIT sounded veiled and the bass lacked control. It was like you were listening to a performer on the other side of a thick curtain or something. The natural bite that should've been there in the brass wasn't there and the piano sounded like it had pads under the keys. When I switched back to the Transparent, the bass was much tighter and it seemed as though a thick fog was lifted from the stage.

This is a company rant, but my local dealer said that MIT told them that Transparent was like MIT's old designs because Transparent use to distribute MIT cable for them. I couldn't find that more untrue in my findings. MIT sounds like old MIT to me and Transparent is so different and sounds like it is on another level. What also strikes me funny is that Transparent doesn't bad mouth MIT, but MIT has bad mouthed Transparent on several occasions. I was also in a conversation with a couple very well respected audio equipment designers at a show a few years back and one of them had gotten a set of cables from both Transparent and MIT and because of his wealth and prestige, actually took the boxes apart to see what was in them. He told me that Transparent uses much higher quality components in their products and it is no wonder why the Transparent sounds better because of it. I'm not going to say who this is, but he consistently gets in the top 5 at the CES shows with Transparent Cable. One last thing to ad. If you look at the two companies, the people at Transparent actually listen to live music and the people at MIT just make cables and from what I hear, don't even listen to them. Music reproduction is what it is all about, isn't it? I just wanted to include this information for anyone being brainwashed into believing MIT's lies and let your ears tell you which product is better before you lay out your hard earned cash on high priced cable.

Great cable. Works very well between my Levinson amplifier and Apogee Stage loudspeakers. Bass stays tight and controlled, mids are open and detailed, highs sound sweet with no sign of roll-off.

Strength:

They looked highend

Weakness:

They are too expensive

I auditioned a pair of MH-750 + Series ll single wire. After an extensive burn in, I thought they sounded good but could not hear much of a difference over the 8 gauge power cable I was using. I felt that the MITs may produce a better bottom end but attributed this to the spades connectors vs. my banana plugs on my 8 gauge. I returned the MITs and will terminate my 8 gauge with spades since they fit so much better and tighter.

Overall, the MITs looked good but did not perfom any miracles (night/day differences) on my system. Also, the cables and networks did not weigh much. How can that be? Copper cable should have some heft and if the networks have any substance, they too should have some weight. I really think that MIT falls into the snakeoil category or I just don't have golden ears. I am going to give Audioquest a try as their technology seems more logical using different conductor material, geometry and conductor gauge.

My system consists of the following:

Lexicon DC-1
Classe` CAV-150
Martin Logan reQuests
Toshiba SD-3109 DVD player
Sony DAT

This cable does what a good cable should do. Passes the music along from the amplifier to the speakers without changing the signal. What more can I say besides the fact that for the price you get a reference quality speaker cable. The matching interconnects will set you back another $500 per. A great deal. Listen and you will see.
