MIT EXP 2 or Signal Cable RCA Interconnects

[dcmartinpc]

Hey Guys...

I have used the EXP 2 speaker wires, but I have not used the EXP 2 interconnects. I am debating purchasing several pairs to connect my Pre/Pro to my amps in my home theater, or buying Signal Cable Analog II for the same job. Thoughts?

Are the EXP 2 a no brainer over the Signal Cable at their current sale price? Am I over thinking this? :)

Don I would get in on the MIT demo (if you havent already) and wait till afterwards to make your decision. I am in the opposite boat. I have MIT EXp1 IC's and your Audioquest speaker wire lol........

I went from Signal Cable Analog 2's to the MIT's but they havent had enough hour to truly evaluate them. If you wanted to make a trip down here sometime to mess around with them we might be able to work something out . You bring your cables and we could play with my LSi's

But honestly grab a couple pairs and if you dont like em you should be able to at least double your money min when you sell them. Plus the EXp2's wont last forever either.

MIT cables work best when the entire rig uses them. 'Nuff said.

Do you mean speaker cables as well as interconnects ?

I'm gonna say yes--that's what I use in my humble system.

That is what F1 means.

F1 told me he secretly uses Monoprice cables

I ordered enough to use in my HT rig and my 2 Channel rig, if I don't like them, look for them up here on the FM so I can break even... I also picked up a set of the balanced EXp Proline XLR for the 2 channel rig. It will be MIT end to end. The HT rig will be MIT everywhere except for the speaker wires, which will be in wall runs...

Oh my god your poor drains I hope the plumber police don't show and cite you for inhumane drain treatment.

Do the EXp Proline Audio Interconnects have the network boxes or are they just straight wire?

I believe they are straight wire w/o network boxes since the entire EXp line of IC's is straight wire.

I'm deciding between SC and the Proline deal.

(balanced between my pre and amp)

For the price buy both and sell the one you dont like. You could probably sell the MIT on the 'gon for double what you paid with no problem.

AHAHA! Awesome post !

I picked up a pair of SC since they have been working very well in my set-up.


I never had a pair of balanced before.. something new to try out

I am also looking at the EXp 2 and the Analog II. I need two total. One for my stereo receiver to a power amp and one between my squeezebox and the receiver.

Does it matter much that the MIT is a longer run at about 6 feet vs. the Signal which is about 2 feet?

Length doesnt matter from what I understand. I was using 3ft Analog 2's but could only buy 6ft EXp 1 IC's. Didnt cause any problems.
