MIT music interface technologies (Snake Oil)?

[Andysu]

This has to be the biggest load of Snake Oil I have seen.

Prices are absurd.

The video being mit is shocking 240p

The Snake Oil BS piles up so high I need wings to fly above it.

monster cable? Come again?
skywalker sound? You got to be kidding me.

 

[Swtoby]

Agreed. Their "articulation" consoles look even worse.

 

[Wes]

MIT should sue them

 

[scott wurcer]

140 poles an objective verifiable claim, prove it. MIT has been BS for decades.

 

[Andysu]

Agreed. Their "articulation" consoles look even worse.

I nearly had a heart attack at this ... https://mitcables.com/product/acc-268-revision-2-articulation-control-console/ .... £106.500 grand the price of a house!

MIT should sue them

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

I don't think they ever trademarked MIT so Musical Interface Technologies can go on as the farce that they are.

 

[Raindog123]

I am pretty sure MIT did trademark MIT.

After a quick search (here): “Massachusetts Institute of Technology and MIT are registered trademarks of the Institute.”

What is inside the oracle box used for skywalker sound? I guess it has some common as mud capacitors I wouldn't be at surprised. The box what so special about the box, it doesn't even make coffee much less cab be used as a dish washer. £35.300 grand really.

Articulation console? Clear voices but the piano sounds like a banjo?

There is an issue that they might care less than 0 about this.

There was the story that Monster Cable tried to get Fenway Park to cease and desist calling the left field wall the green monster, this was a total fabrication.

the green monster, .

Green monsters, come again?
I just grab me a Monster Munch and eat some to improve my hearing of course very hard to prove that claim now.


I'm serious I want see what is inside this oracle. skywalker sound has 40 of them that is 1.5million dollars worth of pure insanity

I can't help you with this.

It consists of a cheap, generic 10 ohm metal film resistor in series with the center lead. The resistor damps ringing in the digital signal and is the patented networking part of the digital interconnect.

DESCRIPTION

AVT 3 Digital Cable

• Premium digital interconnect
• Patented Digital Terminator Technology eliminates jitter-based distortions
• Silver-clad OFC Copper center conductor improves low-level detail.
• High-purity copper shields for superior noise rejection
• Gas-injected P.E. insulation reduces distortions
• True 75-Ohm construction for optimum match per industry standards

"patented". Not anymore. I may try that I have lots of resistors that cost far less than the whole snake oil cable.

 

[devopsprodude]

Yeah, and don't forget that their cables only go one direction!

Right into the Charles River.

 

[devopsprodude]

Right into the Charles River.

That would be an insult to the Charles River.

IIRC, the IP on trademarks is limited to an area of "product."

IF so, then one could easily create MIT cereal, etc.

When I did my speaker cable comparison the Goldmund and MIT cables in the compare both had filter boxes in line and both sounded different to the other cables in the test.
I was not surprised since they have components in them.
I was using a Spectral DMA 180 amp in the comparison, maybe the filter improved its stability too?
Anyway my current speaker cables cost £32 on ebay, so you can deduce the result of my listening comparisons.
