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.

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.

Hmm
This story has to have an end. Well I guess the cable did improve in time. One day a week ago I found that sound is very different to what I thought before. It become plesant with better bass. I still feel the top-end need to be more open but it is way better to what I had in unbroken cable. Overall sound got more body with break-in time. So I was wrong thinking one week is all I need to have it broken-in.
