I wonder how many sales they would have if they comercialized not a "cable" that improves sound, but a "Box" (attached to cable) that improves sound....

Who would want to put yet another box in their system of a "mistery circuit" that enhances the sound of your system? or even more than one!

Say you have SUT conected to your Phono stage, then to your line stage, amplifier and speakers.... that is 4 mystery boxes!

While MIT, Transparent and a few other networked cables aren't the only game in town, they are certainly among the best. There's gotta be a reason that so many respected high-end companies use cables from these companies.

-- Strange; you are both writers for Positive Feedback, and I know a lot of pro audiophiles, audio writers/reviewers who use various other brands of cables. :b

Strange did you read post #43?

Hello, Bob. It's a big audio land out there, of course you are going to have some prefer other brands of cables. Please do not take any offense but I would hope by now that you know that synergy can play an important factor in playback reproduction and that may have some impact on what cable goes in a particular system. I'm not a pro reviewer and I do not work for any audio magazine, yet in my reference rig I use Transparent cables as well. It wasn't for business reasons. They are in there because the have earned the right to be there.

Here's post #43 Myles, your post, which I read three or four times. ...And which I totally grasped.

Now, my own reply to your post was just that, no more no less; unless you read something else in it that I am not aware of. Perhaps you should also reread it, and only for what it says, not what you think it says. :b

No the operative term is "aren't the only game in town." In fact, I use both networked and non-networked cables.

-- "What I can read are only words written on a piece of paper (or post)." - Bob (me) :b

* And I did read that Mit and Transparent, and few other cables of high pedigree
AREN'T the only game in town.
And that, I got that right from the very first read. ...Myles. :b

And my reply was 99% humoristic, but it seems that it did not strike the right chord somehow; not my fault if you read something else. ..And I thought that I made myself very clear with this: ;)
Sensitive audio people, we all are; you, I, them, and her.
