    Photobucket is a mess these days. Once again, I didn't move or delete the list.

    I read on a other site MIT is raising their prices, but I couldn't find any info on MIT site. I did notice you can't buy their cables any more from the MIT site. I guess Joe took all their business. Maybe that is why they are raising prices. :biggrin:

    Yes, I noticed that, but I was talking about buying the new items. That site only sells older products. Of course, those probably work pretty good.


    "MIT Cables Express is where you can find fast savings on speaker cables, interconnects, video cables, and power products from MIT Cables. This is your chance to have MIT Cables' quality and performance at huge savings because everything offered is older technology (circa 2004 to 2009), Overstock, B-Stock, or New Old Stock."

    I think they are playing around a bit. For example, if you look at speaker cables you'll see they are all "Current Production", but I understand what you are saying about how they use to list the prices on the main site.

    BTW, MIT has a new addy......

    I would have loved to have done the demo but my system is not quite ready. Although I have a killer HT system Iwant to wait until I finish the 2 ch system thats under construction. When its done I want enough quality components there so I can swap out the old exp ic and spkr cables and boom... just hear that high quality cable upgrade in an instant. This brings me to the point, will there be another MIT cable demo with other offerings ? and it would great if they sent out a couple of power cords to really evaluate them to the max

    Sorry if this has been covered, but since I've been out of the loop for a bit, just wondering if there is going to be a round 5. Would love to see how something like this stacks up to the Synergistic Research cables I have now.

    Round 5 featuring MIT's new StyleLine SL series cables will be starting in the very near future, so stay tuned.

    I'm fairly certain at this point there will be two demos going at the same time, a US 48 states demo and a Canadian demo......I need my head examined.

    Of course, it would be worth the audition time, these are MIT cables.

    Jesse, I really should put this cash into the x-overs and have no idea how quicly the turn around is for getting these delivered.It looks like I passed all your checks for criterior, it would be great way to try a famous high end cable I would like to be put on the list.What kind of ends are on the speaker cables and are they screw on reversible type. The i/c I'm assuming they are RCA type.So if you could just answer those 2 questions and a close #on cash to be expended put me on the list.Hey after these sets make the rounds does any poor former dissbeliever have a right to these or does MIT take them back and do an autopsy on them.
