Dave_b, far be it from me to call you an idiot.

Work with me here, Dave, as we reason through this together.

1. You claim that MIT and Transparent are the only cables that address real world problems. Hence, you're statement implies that you've tried every mfg'er's cables. Would you please confirm here that you have indeed tried every cable in the world?

2. You claim to know what "real world" problems are when it comes to cables. How about sharing what the "real world" problems are that cables exhibit? Also, how about sharing how only MIT and Transparent have successfully addressed those "real world" problems. Perhaps you could even give us some detail how where all the other cable mfg'ers fell short.

3. You question exotic metals and DIY stuff? Has it not occured to you that some DIY-types, engineers, wannabe engineers / designers listen to cables like MIT and Transparent and are convinced they can build a better mouse trap? It's called a "what if?" or "I think I can do better" attitude. This is where the more ingenuitive types (unlike yourself) invoke experimentation, R&D, and trial and error to pursue their dream of a better tomorrow or at least satisfy their curiosity. Our nation was essentially founded on this attitude. Yet, here you are thinking certain babies were born without that ingenuitive trait, but instead where born with Litz wire encased in a Teflon dialectric is hanging out of their mouths almost as though The Creator pre-destined some to be cable mfg'ers and already implanted all the knowledge they need to "address real world" cabling problems to start mfg'ering and bestow their blessings onto their fellow man.

4. You mention one should have a higher-end system for one to truly understand what MIT and Transparent offer. Thereby implying that you know what constitutes a higher-end system and that YOU truly understand. Fine. What do you consider to be a higher-end system? What is it that you truly understand about MIT and Transparent's ability to successfully address "real world" problems? Please explain what these 2 mfg'er's cables are able to do sonically for your system what no others cables in the world can do?

5. You claim every silver cable you've tried sounds horrible, no matter how many times you've tried them. Of course you realize that silver is slightly above copper on the metal conductivity chart, right? Do you think it possible that all the silver cables you've tried just might be a tad more revealing than the coppers you've tried? If that's possibly, then is it not also possible that a more revealing cable is also indiscriminate about what it reveals more of, whether it be more music or more distortions? If that is possible, then is it not also possible that all the silver cables you've tried are revealing significantly more distortions in your system and that's why you think all silver cables sound horrible?

BTW, you speak as though I have even a remote interest in auditioning MIT and Transparent cables. I suspect only an indiot would interpret that from my previous post.

But like I said, dave_b, far be it from me to call you an idiot. However, since I'm a "what if?" kinda' guy, my question to you is, what if you were? Would your parroted posts sound any more or less intelligent than they do here?
