I was Mit and Transparent user and always wanted to do this table.
Even today, i can’t understand why to buy an expensive box with so low quality cable….

What is the conclusion you are trying to suggest with that comparison?

I'm unclear about what you're trying to point out with the comparison and if you see the 4 cables as examples of the same type of cable or if you're comparing some of them against each other.

Thanks in advance.

It appears the suggestion is that the 'value' in the MIT/Transparent lies almost solely with the 'box', whereas the Siltech/Esprit is on the cable itself.
That's what I thought but I am entirely unfamiliar with the Esprit cable and couldn't find that model on their website.
I only thought that might be the insinuation because I'm not in love with the idea of boxes of circuitry on cables.

Hopefully the OP provides some context.

You cannot listen to a table. Let your ears decide.

You can’t listen a picture too, but it is hard to me explaining a “box” like that costs 20K€ and it is used with 700€ x 1mt. cable.
