Looking forward to your impressions.
Installed the MIT Oracle MA-X Prolines into my system earlier this morning:) For review my system is as follows:
Krell Vanguard Integrated
Krell 505 SACD Player
B&W 802D Speakers
Transparent Ultra Gen 5 Biwire Spkr Cables wt Locking Bananas
Transparent PLMM2 PC
MIT Oracle AC 2 PC
Transparent Power Isolater Duo
and of course my recent addition....The MIT Oracle MA-X Proline Interconnects!!
All I can say is that I weep for anyone not able to own these interconnects. Are they worth $13,200 retail....I think so. Are they worth the 60% off Demo price I paid? OH YEAY!!!
The best way to describe the sound using the MA-X's is that they offer a completely open window into the recording with the most relaxed and utterly detailed presentation possible. They actually hide nothing but sound 100% natural and that goes for the tone color as well. Zero digititus or glare....alarmingly liquid, warm and full of life and texture with excellent dynamics. The system just sounds so uncannily realistic in every important way.....extension, low level detail, warmth, tone color, contrast, soundstaging, quickness and zero fatigue factor at any volume level!! Highly recommended.....the MA-X's are beyond special. They are addictive and they call out to me to play more music:()

Very nice- Dave. it is an interesting thing -running both Transparent & MIT cables/cords. Keep me posted as you break-in the MIT!
Will do....the MIT and Transparent cables work nicely together, giving me a very natural presentation.

I look forward to your observations/impressions.
The most striking aspect of the MA -X Prolines is that they play clear and full with completely natural tone. Nothing mechanical or unnatural comes out of them. Ever stand right in front of an alto sax playing ? These cables in my system lay out the complete harmonic envelope from breath to overtones! All I want is to experience being in the presence of music being made...the MA-X cables allow my system to come extremely close to that ideal. Soundstaging is also huge and layered. Unforced and unhyped are additional descriptors I would use to describe the sound. Alive, full of color and dynamics while remaining in control and in balance. Of course the system in total is creating the overall results...but the MA-X cables deliver such complexity so effortlessly and natural that it is quite captivating:)

Very nice! Dave.
do you think that you will convert to an all Transparent or all MIT system?
Been there, done that several times...overall the strengths of MIT come through most in the IC's and Transparent delivers the power and extension I crave with their speaker cables! I like the synergy of each playing to their strengths.

Awesome reports Dave.
I have a dealer who wants me to compare MIT HD38 Biwires to my TUltra's...no cost or obligation;)). How could I resist!!

Nothing wrong w/ a friendly shoot-out. I look forward to your impressions.
I am debating whether or not to replace the internal fuses on the Vanguard...there are 5 of them so I would think it should be a fairly audible improvement!
dave_b
I would contact Krell prior to exchanging any fuses.
If I do it...I have used HiFi Tuning Supreme fuses in all my gear. Usually adds an extra level of purity and definition:)
