keep you updated with my mit naim combo..

I am just keeping you posted like you asked the MIT line is very nice for this naim 5i-2. I did come across something. A good friend of mine who has a lot of MIT all the way up to oracle line told me the style line cable has a impedance setting of medium 47k to 90k. The naim has a input impedance of 20k. there is a little bit of impedance mismatch. I told him it sounded nice and he told me I will be over and show you. He came over with a pair of shotgun s3 interconnects form the 2005-2009 MIT era. we listened to Ben Webster soul-ville. with my cables in sounded nice and detailed nice with and sound staging. He took out the style line 6 interconnects and put on the shotgun s3 interconnects. the stye line 6 has 6 poles of articulation and the shotgun s3 has 4 poles of articulation.. He pointed out the shotgun impedance switch was set to low which is 5k to 50k. and the input impedance on the naim 5i-2 is 20k. I am thinking yeah whatever these are not going to be any better than the ones I have.. Well I was wrong the sound stage was much bigger and deeper with more texture the music and horns on the Ben Webster track went way behind and around the speakers..So I guess the the input impedance does make a difference. we put my cables on my sons primaluna prologue 2 which has a input impedance of 60k which is medium which the stye line is set for and set the shotgun s3 to medium impedance with the switch and they where much closer in sound not much difference at all very interesting so input impedance matching is very important after all..
