Don't tell me how much you hate Jay. Better to say how much you hate cables.
They really are tone controls.

Since there is only one “Live”, everything is a tone control. Doesn’t bother me.
you call it a tone control. I call it a filter.

Personally, I have not been a fan of MIT cables. They, to me, have a "house sound".
At the end of the day and after all of the dust settles? Whether one considers a cable a tone control, a filter or something else?
They are a change. System synergy plays a huge part in this. Along with so many other factors. Where one is at along their individual audio journey plays a role in their observations.
By the time we get the music? We are on what? The 16th or 22nd generation of the original recording (very conservative).....along with phase swapping , <snip>
I'll just stop there. Everything affects everything and along one's journey? They discover more than previously thought....so long as they advance and in some cases? Digress.
To some? 100K SC's may get them to where they would like to be. To others? They may be just another cyclic activity to move on from in a couple of months. To others? It may very well be the last item that completes their system.....perhaps until the next itch that comes along to feed whatever it is that drives them.

Audiophiles like adjustments and adding more shiny boxes.
They can now change the sound themselves , good business idea from.MIT
.
Not 100 % satisfied with the sound and dont know what to do .....lets turn the knobs a bit

Often cheaper than the usual audiophile road: taking ones loss and shouting: next!

And if you re bored after 3 months , you just turn the knobs back where they were .
So 100 K might actually save them money in the long run.
Polish the box a bit once in a while everybody happy
.
If people really wanna do that , id advise them to contact FM acoustics .
They know how to do high Q equalization for a lot less

Why? Seems like the industry as a whole is in a race to claim the most expensive component of any product class. Of course this can always be defended with system synergy but come on.
Any end in sight for just how ridiculous this really is?

Stereophile used to say something like this in their recommended components edition -- "Choose a class A component from each of the categories, connect them together to form a system, and you will likely have bad sound." 100K or not the question to be answered is that the best cable for that system? I doubt it. This certain someone who shall not be named is perpetuating the myth that if a person just spend a bunch of money on "class A" components then they will automatically get great music. I guess he needs to keep his viewers entertained.
I wish he would focus on system synergy and system building rather than seemingly random box swapping. He has listened to more high-end gear in his house than probably anyone. Take a speaker and try a couple different amps. Shoot videos of I like this in this one and that in that one. Pick one. Then pick a great matching preamp based on some criteria and so on. Until he has constructed a musically satisfying system.
A video of this system was just posted where "Man in a long black coat" by Bob Dylan was playing. I am not sure why this song. Maybe he just likes it. I played it last night on my system and was pretty shocked at just how bad this recording sounds. The bass is bloated. It has very strange stereo phasing. Maybe the idea is that if he can get the bass to sound reasonable on this song then all other songs will sound good.

I watch “this certain someone” just to have a laugh at his pleading to ‘subscribe and like’ which of course I don’t then
. Ah… the simple joys of life
I use to say this about American Idol. I always want then to have American Guitarist. American Drummer. Then start blending them into teams.

Knowing Accuphase, it's likely a good one. I love the old cello piece as well. The designer of the Cello Palette and other brand pre-amplifiers is the President of Viola Audio Labs. I'll have to ask him why he never considered modernizing this iconic product as a Viola product.Another option but then in the digital domain
