I can't believe I've wasted so much time listening to cables that only have less than 50% articulation below middle C.
I feel so cheated.
That’s too bad.
Don’t care about the status-end, someone has to make and sell it. It exists in all realms of life. $5000 shoes, $350,000 cars and what have you.
MIT’s shotguns are excellent, some of the best sounding cables anyone has found(made) for not a whole lot. That guys website is stupid high. That’s likely MSRP or higher and I know for a fact that’s not realistic prices. Be a smart shopper and look around – only an idiot would pay that much. My buddy got a new pair of Shotgun S2 speaker cables in and around 10 feet for under $700 all inclusive. He also bought several 1 meter and longer S2 interconnects and didn’t pay more then $325 a pair. That’s already less then half the price of this Goodwin place. But whatever, it’s not worth and more discussion on the topic of shopping.
MIT’s ‘impedance’ box either come in low, med or high impedance or have all three in the big box and you can change them. They put devices connected to the wire but they don’t pass the signal through it and they are NOT the only company doing it for two decades, lot of others use the same design principles with the similar effects.
Snake Oil? Nope. Value for your money? Nope. But that’s a personal choice determined on your disposable income.
