Thought I'd get back on topic so...Done the super tweeter thing and found it don't make up for what lacks in the system to begin with. Cable evaluation of Synergistic Research Accelerator, Purist Aqueaus, Analysis Plus Big Silver Oval and MIT Magnum M1 have enlightened me. The Monster Cable Z200i IC and M2.2s speaker cable is so immediate, vital and bubbling over with texture and dynamics that I can hardly believe it! I've found that playing live music can throw into bold relief just how different cables can sound...and just how hard some high end cables try to compensate for poorly matched components by phasing and rolling certain frequencies off. I must apologize to Audiofeil for the simple reason that the Monster cable wiped the floor with the so called High End cables. Unexpected and disturbing for someone who has sworn by his MIT cables:O)
MIT cables and super tweeters
So I'm leaning towards purchasing some MIT cables (likely Shotgun S3 IC and speaker cables), but I can't figure out what the network box on the cables actually does. From what I've read, it appears to act as a low pass filter to remove all the grunge carried at utlra high frequencies which supposedly can muck up the audible frequencies. While this doesn't sound like a bad thing, I also intend to purchase a Townshend Super Tweeter (20kHz -70kHz per specs) some time this year (**crosses fingers**). If the MIT's network box is acting as a low pass filter, then wouldn't it filter out all the audio frequency info that would've gone to the super tweeter? Anybody have any insight on this as I'm not sure if this is even right. Thanks much.
