I briefly heard this cable recently, and I have to admit that unlike the MA-X SHD - which I've always considered a Frankencable - this "version" caught my attention, to say the least. It probably costs a kidney per channel, but it was hard to ignore timbre of that caliber (obviously the rest of the system was up to par)... more details to come.

Hey Ack,
can you clarify "Frankencable"? I don't know the price of kidney but rumour has it the MIT are 80K

Frankencable as in 'it sounds weird and unnatural', 'engineered sound', 'WTH is this'... So kidneys are still more expensive, that's great - see this http://gizmodo.com/5904129/heres-how-much-body-parts-cost-on-the-black-market

Are you setting down, you may want to. The retail price for a nonbiwired 8ft pair is $79,995 and $84,995 for biwired. I will be getting a pair in about two weeks

Very disappointed they are not breaking the six figure mark. How does high end audio ever want to be taken seriously if we just keep producing this cheap stuff? i guess we'll have to wait for Transparent to build the first $100K+ cable. Bad marketing move.

Scott W · Apr 22, 2015

That's an easy one. I don't drive everyday and hate it when I do, but love to listen everyday. So the black boxes of course

Then it is a good thing I have the MAX2 speaker cable. No Frank in sight there anywhere ;-) :-D

I now have the MA-X SHD speaker cables, but have not seen or heard Frank. Maybe he comes while I am not listening

Hey Gavin. You get your VR9SE MKII's yet?

ack · Apr 22, 2015

When Scott gets his Articulation Console I would invite him to tell us about the differences; I think they will be extremely evident, and then we can talk about the MA-X SHD again

BTW, I would get the M4 any day of the week, twice on Sunday

How many poles of Farticulation?

Who looks better? Those who make poles or those who dance around them?

Hi-FiGuy · Apr 22, 2015

At least you get to dial in the color of your sound.

Looking at the product list I am blown away, at least they are proud.

Those who make poles; the ones dancing around them are not articulate, they just look hot and act dumb - think Transparent

oh wait, you had something else in mind

I periodically switch between Nordost Odin...using currently and MIT MA-X SHD....it is clearly a tunable cable. I like the bass best with that cable...Odin for everything else...there is no perfect cable...only compromise.

Is Odin warmer, Christian?

No...more clear and transparent. Bass isn't quite as extended as MIT. Mid - treble sounds better with Odin in my room/system. I hear Odin 2 is soon to debut. I'm done with cable blood letting.
