What I found interesting was that here was a $1500 speaker cable that sounded essentially the same as 16g Zip cord on a high end system.

Even the cable salesmen and professional audio people could not tell the difference. I agree the number of reviewers were small but you would think that for $1500's there would be a noticeable difference! This leads me to believe that either MIT cables are POS or that 16g Zip Cord is worth $1500 and we should all be using it. Or the reviewers all have hearing deficits!
