Please read the entire post first and this is not intended to encourage people to run out and necessarily buy MIT products, but to just use one of their Reference products as a first round testing to be able to hear different response curves of a cable in one's system to figure out what sounds good to our ears on our system to help us in the listening process. At least one can go into an MIT dealership that has this cable, and be able to maybe sit down and go through the different settings and see what they hear and maybe try it at home as a means of trying to figure out what works best and what doesn't. I think this sort of product makes a great learning tool.
There is a cable on the market that allows the user to select different "response curves" and different impedances. It just so happens to be the top model MIT Cables Oracle MA-X SHD cable. But I think it could be used as a learning tool, but to assist us in figuring out what type of response curve we should be going for that works best for our systems since the electronics we use may dictate what response curve will ultimately sound best.
Here's a photo of the selector switches that the cable has to select the different "response curves". http://www.mitcables.com/components...ge/product/Oracle_MA_X_Supe_5111b3ce3d117.jpg
Now, if every cable manufacturer tested and published the respective "response curve" and impedance level, this would allow us POTENTIALLY, to first connect the MIT Cable as a means to dial in what would be the preferred and desired "response curve" and impedance so that we have a frame of reference of what works best for our system. Not every system is the same and every listener has their own idea of what sounds good.
So, if this would first allow us to dial in the desired sound, then we can then sift through the published "response curves" and impedances of the various cables on the market to then listen to those products that have similar "response curves" and impedance to narrow down our choice for what works best on our system whether it's an MIT Cable or not. I think this is what the industry needs is more useful measurements of cables and how they potentially will sound to produce the desired results.
I'm just hoping that one day all cables on the market will have their respective "response curves" and impedance published so that we may better understand and help us decide what cables we should be auditioning to streamline the cable selection process.
