MIT Shotgun vs Magnum


Hi I currently have demo of Shotgun S2 XLR cable. To my surprise it was a massive step in wrong direction. The sound become thin, robbed of harmonics and with no body. Top end is accentuated and not differential.
Do you think Magnum will solve those problems? Or should I quit MIT?
They have more then a weak of break in on them.

I own and truly enjoy my MIT's. I agree that break-in time really does matter. However, I'd also suggest that system synergies are important and it doesn't appear that any one brand of cable is ideal for all systems. Give it some more time. Talk to the MIT rep if you still can't find the magic (maybe you got some bum cables -- does one channel sound better than the other?). If all else fails, continue your quest with another product. You might get some good recommendations if you post your system.
I agree with the above posters. MIT cables do require a long burn in time. One week is nothing. The difference once they are burned in is night and day and will sound like a different cable than what you are hearing now. The same thing happened with my Oracle v1's. Be patient and give them a fair shot. They are fantastic cables.

Both chanels sound the same to me.

Since you went thru all mit IC's what is your opinion about Magnum compared to Shotgun? Is there a big difference between M1, M2, M3?

thanks
I have the MIT s3 interconnect and speaker cable, and was wondering what happens to the wire during the break in period to change the sound? I am sure that the wires resistance or q faCTOR Dosent change, so what is different? Is it because of the long break in required now makes your new cables USED?
My experience regarding the long breakin time of MIT cables echos the aforementioned; I also agree that they are fantastic when correctly applied (ie: synergy is everything) so a superior sounding cable in one rig may yield far inferior results in another rig. Oz suggests talking with the MIT rep. In this situation, in order to verify correct application (do you have the correct model-cable *impedance range*? by all means contact our resident MIT expert Joe Abramsfor a straight-up no BS consultation; you'll be glad you did.
