System edited: added Silflex Glass Toslink cable from Mac Mini to DAC and Ayrewave. With the addition of these two components, I'm getting better bass response and immediacy, as well as automatic sample rate switching from 16/44 to 24/96.

thanks afranta. dig your system too, the naim nait 5i is a killer amp.

I really like the look of your system -- and the room (love the blue walls). Very nicely done.

Well I know this is confusing but in MIT 5 is lower than 1. So term 3 is a beter piece than a term 5. This is as far as I know correct but double check on your end to make sure but Im pretty sure on this. As you can tell Im new to MIT. I thought the same thing super$ and not worth it but I have to admit Im wrong when Im wrong so Im wrong! LOL!! Yea I had to try the MIT term 2 cause for 150$ I couldnt go wrong and now I cant believe I ever wanted anything but these and in fact Im selling most everything I can just to buy used interconnects by MIT right now!

For my Quads the bi-wiring certainly helped. I felt the treble was helped much more than the bass.

@Jayb77 - another question, i see some listings for terminator 4 and terminator 3 speakers cables on a'gon and ebay. are the 3's or 4's any better or worse than 2's?

@Milpai - thanks for the reference to signal cables... do you recommend bi-wiring to the speakers whenever possible? did it make a difference on your system?

@Jayb77 - thanks for the tip, i will definitely look them up.
I thought MIT cables were all mega-bucks, so they were never on the radar for me. nice system btw.

Seriously look on here for a set of MIT terminator 2 speaker wires. There up here all the time for around 1 to 2 hundred $,s and you will LOVE what you find! I never would have thought it made such a huge difference. I was just giving advice on the part where you mentioned cables upgrade. I had a set of speakers that didnt sound good unless bi-amped and then I got the MIT terminator 2,s and viola! they sound great with one amp! the speaker cables were the problem they were choking the bass out.And theyre wernt cheap cables! so Im sure youll find or have similar results! Good luck!

Very simple system indeed. I suggest the Signal Cable Silver Resolution ICs and Speaker Cables. Economical and value for money. Good luck.
