How does MIT vary the impedance of their cables?

Hi,
I have a pair of MIT 330's that are "medium" (47~100ohms) and I need "low" (10~47ohms).
I was wondering how MIT alters the impedance in their different versions? I'm guessing that it's with the use of a resistor in the network box? I thought that if I could open the box and jumper the resistor... Any opinions?
Thanks,
Paul.

Dear Paul,

The L,M H deignations DO NOT refer to the resistance of the cable. They refer to the input impedance of the component that the cable is designed to MATCH. You can email MIT at whatever@mitcables.com or call them at 916 625 0129.

Best of luck,
Joe

peleon: you can get into the mit network box if you really care to. all it takes is a sawzall, a cold-forged chisel and an 8 pound hammer. 'course if you take this route, you should be prepared to discover that there's nothing to it but the epoxy resin. -cfb

Any guesses why a cable company would bury passive components in epoxy?

Clueless,

Unless I'm mistaken, most speaker crossovers are "buried" in epoxy to improve performance by reducing vibrations.

Just a different, non-cynical, view.

Cornfedboy: Such cynicism about those fine professionals who bring us high-end cables. Can you prove that the epoxy resin they use doesn't improve the sound?
