Nordost v MIT


Any thoughts...I have been using a combination of these cables....Mostly the less expensive ones, and have yet to decide on which I think is better...I was wondering if anyone had experience with the middle level from both of these companies....For example, how does Red Dawn sound in comparison to the "shotgun" cables?

Thanks for your thoughts.

My system has changed a lot recently...Currently running Denon 2900 into Musical fidelity 3.24 with a MIT digi, then into Denon 4802r (as a pre) via MIT 350's...Then we run into a Parasound 1500a via MIT 330 S2's...Finally into my new Electra 926's via Nordost Blue Heaven bi-wire. The nordost speaker cables are great, and IMO are much better than the MIT speaker cables I have used in the same position (namely the MIT T2 cables) maybe my MIT's needed more burn time or something, but the sound just is not as great when I have the MIT speaker cables in the system. I have been interested to see if the sound improved much if I take the MIT intereconnects out and try Nordost in its place....I guess only time will tell..

Thanks for your opinions!

Ben,

You have to ask yourself, 'am I happy with my current sound?'. If so, quit while you're ahead.

If you think you can do better, and you like the change the Nordost made in your speaker cables, then go ahead and try the interconnects by all means.

Just so that you know that sometimes cables can 'balance' each other out sonically. Meaning that your all 'warm' MIT may have been boring, and the Nordost speaker cables may have added some well appreciated 'zing', too much 'zing' may not suit your tastes either.

However, more 'zing' from the interconnects may or may not be what you are looking for. The only way to find out is to try them for yourself. Buy them used on AGoN, if it doesn't work, sell them. Then you'll know.

Cheers,
John
JMC nailed it, in my experience of these two brands. If you want to mix and match I'd consider doing it component by component. Is the cd player a bit harsh? Try MIT, or Cardas. Just right, perhaps a bit warm? Nordost.

I have a lot of experience with both brands. Nordost gives a lot more resolution. MIT is filtering a part in the middle freq. So you get the feeling you have more bass and high. But infact you miss more details.
