MIT MI-330 Proline Shotgun interconnects & MH-750 Shotgun speaker cables

Dec 01, 2008 First Published:Mar 01, 2000

In the last year I've written about several components of a truly engaging system: the VPI TNT Mk.IV turntable and JMW Memorial 12" tonearm (February '99), Grado Reference cartridge; the <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/cdplayers/156">Wadia 830</A> CD player (October 1999); and <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/216">Thiel's CS7.2</A> loudspeakers (February 2000). I've recounted the evolution of my listening-room setup as well, and described its optimization using <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/roomtreatments/215">ASC Tube Traps</A> and Art Noxon's MATT test in the February issue. The final piece of the puzzle, and the one I'll tackle here, was the cable package from MIT: the MI-330 Shotgun Proline interconnects and the MH-750 shotgun speaker cables.

The Blind leading the Deaf Letter: Why Amplifiers Sound the Same

As the person who "<A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/asweseeit/1085awsi">invented</A>&quot; subjective testing, I have followed with great interest the many articles in the mainstream audio press which purport to prove that none of us can really hear all the differences we claim to hear, particularly those between amplifiers. My reaction has usually been: "Why didn't they invite me to participate? <I>I</I> would have heard the differences under their double-blind listening conditions." I could make that assertion with supreme confidence because I had never been involved in any such test.

Too Many Forum Categories?

The last post in the Loudspeakers category of the Hardware Forum was a week ago. What's up with that? This is a forum for people who are interested in music and hi-fi, isn't it? STEREOPHILE is the leading American magazine on those subjects...isn't it?

My diagnosis: Too many forum categories! There may be 10,000 registered users, but the traffic day to day seems extremely light. I think we are just spread out too thin, and that a stream-lined, condensed forum might be just the ticket to liven things up. Probably 5-10 categories, top, would be quite sufficient.

mono system?

Submitted by satkinsn on

Reading Art's notes on mono in the December issue got me to thinking; how would you go about building a decent, dedicated mono system in 2008?

Obviously you can still buy mono phono cartridges, but what would you do next?

The main purpose of such a system would obviously be to play mono lps...

Yo guys
I have been away because my work and my degree have been keeping me very busy - now I am back to stir the ingredients of science back into my hobby.

How is everyone ?

I hope you are all well and life is good

I did finally manage to get my workshop built and now that I have done that - I can now move on to build the amplifiers the rest of the world havent yet been able to create.

Oppo DVD PLayer

The Entry Level
Submitted by scleary20 on

Obviously as the title says i'm curious of the Oppo DVD player. The DV-970HD had a great review may of last year from Wes Phillips. However they have moved on now to the dv-980h and they also have the dv-981hd and dv-983h. Now i have been hard pressed to find any reviews on the audio aspects of these new models, obviously seeing as it is a dvd player. However i didn't know if anyone knew anything about these newer models. I can get the 970 for like $90 used. however if it is worth it to go for the new 980 or one of the other models i would love to know as they are all moderately priced.
