Plot Thickens Considerably

So...interesting development.

Turns out, all along, I was not hearing the MIT speaker cable, really. You see, the Magnepan Super MMGs, with bass panel, requires two sets of cables. One for amp-> bass panel, the other for bass panel -> main speakers. I was using the MIT cables for the first connection and a pair of Audioquest Rocket 44 for the main speaker connection.

So I switched them. Wow, wow, wow. With the MIT cables where they should have been all along (bass panel -> main speakers) the results are astonishingly better. All the MIT traits come through in spades. Bass has great tone, impact, authority, mids are super clear, highs are beautiful and the soundstage is precise and stable. I love how my system sounds now. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the single most impactful change from a single component that I can remember (including the Soundsmith, which is a dang good cart) I was chasing this tail for a long time with tube upgrades, everything but all along it was the AQ cables. Now I'm back to MIT and have even purchased a better set. MIT is back on my "no brainer" list.
