- All cables must be properly treated on a burn-in device.- I do not have any experience with Magnan, so I'm not at liberty to comment. - Check all of my reviews of MIT's products. Pay close attention to the pros and cons, especially regarding how you can or cannot accommodate the bulky and heavy network boxes. I have extensive experience with Nordost's car-priced Odin line. Reviewers fall all over themselves, in praising this line. Indeed, if your cable goal is to make signal transfer as close as the speed of light, the Odin is yours. However, in reproducing your sources' musical attributes and character, MIT's upper-end models can outperform the vaunted Nordost Odin. - I have had several Krell pieces (though not the FPB-200c), and all worked well with the appropriately-matched (using the incorrect impedance will make the music lose focus and mess up the transients) MIT interconnect/speaker cable. - Also check out my reviews on Cardas products. - The Golden Reference speaker cable is a very good product, 180-degrees different from their awful GR interconnect. At all costs, steer away from the poor-sounding (congested, opaque, colored, boring) Golden Reference interconnects. - The problem is, Cardas' Clear series is much more accurate than the GR. If you are going to stick with Cardas, I would suggest getting the Clear interconnects, and one of their cheaper speaker cable models. Then make sure you run these cables on a burn-in device. - Do not do the reverse, where you get subpar interconnects but a state-of-the-art speaker cable (e.g., Clear Beyond). All that does is reveal the shortcomings in the interconnects. The Audiophiles' DJ, -Lummy The Loch Monster
