First impressions - damn it! I don't want to like them. No, no, no.

But...

Great tone. NOT aggressive or bitey at all. More resolution than the Siltech (hearing more detail and nuances in the music, like breaths from the musicians that I have not heard before). Very balanced top to bottom without the slight coloration in the lower mids that some cables have. The music has great rhythm, no excessive hang to the notes. Very quick start and stop.

Mike ,

Did the use of MIT in the magico hq peak your interest ? Also how many poles of articulation do those speaker cables have ?

Not exactly. MIT called me. But I've been interested and after reading Robert Harley's review of the MIT cables in this months TAS, I became downright excited to get them.

115 poles.

You know I am a believer in cables that are supposed to do something to get us closer to what we want to hear. Good luck with your trials.

Well, it's almost 7:30pm and I'm still at the store. My wife just called to ask where I was.

Uhhh....just one more song....

Going to keep burning these babies in. MIT says 2 weeks.

One of my local dealers swears by MIT and has used them for 20 years. I had an in-home demo for several weeks of an MIT loom and they definitely have a lot of strong points: terrific imaging and soundstage, detail and nuance, very low noise, neutrality and excellent speed and dynamics on transients. I believe I ended up sticking with my Cardas at the time because the MIT leaned a bit too much to the analytical side versus the organic sound of my Cardas. I'm sure Mike's MIT cables are a newer, higher and better version of what I demoed several years back.

Best,
Ken

I'd definitely like to try an MIT loom sometime in my own system. At least the speaker cables and a pair of interconnects. I've been skeptical about their technology in the past but, always curious.

Mike,

Please let us know as you continue to break them in.
 
I stayed at the store until late listening. I found serious toe tapping happening. Also, I kept turning the music louder and louder. Such an exhilarating sound.

But, I must continue to listen and when the newness wears off, what's left? Good, bad, indifferent?

I also have a loom of Shunyata Sigma NR speaker, IC, etc coming and I've recently had some Tellurium Q (black and Ultra Black) in the store. Very nice!

But so far, these MIT's are a terrific pairing on the Magico's.
 
The MIT cables match extremely well to the Magico sound. Big synergy there. I'm sure this is the reason Magico primarily uses them.

I think the MIT cables might be a bit too much of a good thing for my tastes. Like you Ken I think i'd lean toward my current Jorma cables for their more natural/organic presentation, harmonic richness & touch more delicacy.
 
From my perspective, this is the best cable synergy I've ever heard with the Magico's in the store. I've tried: AQ, Siltech, Kimber, Ansuz, Tellurium Q, etc.

Frankly, it's not close. I now know why Magico uses them in the factory and the shows.

But....I keep listening.
