MIT recently stopped selling the Terminators, they are now exclusively selling the higher end Shotgun, Magnum, and Oracle lines. When they were still available, the 1.5m pair sold for $524:

I recently bought three pairs of these interconnects from a seller on eBay, who is listing them for $358, brand new, still sealed. My intended use was to run them between my sacd player and preamp, between my turntable and preamp, and my preamp and amp. However, there seems to be some sort of grounding issue with the whole MIT interface "thing" when connecting my turntable to the tube preamp. There's nothing wrong with these cables, there is just an incompatibility there. They work fine connecting the turntable to my solid state receiver, and they are just fine for the sacd->preamp and preamp->amp connections. I've swapped these cables around with one of the other pairs, same hum. I swapped them out with a different pair of interconnects, non-MIT, and all's fine with the turntable. So the issue here is purely in my application, I don't really know why, I just know that for the turntable to preamp connection, these cables don't work. So I'm keeping two of the three pairs, but selling one.
They have barely been used. They're all re-boxed up as new, but obviously the sealed bags they come in have been opened.
Again, so as to avoid confusion, there is nothing wrong with these cables. If I'm using them in any other connection other than between my turntable and tube preamp, they work just fine. If I'm using them between my turntable and solid state receiver, they work just fine. I really wish this were not the case, as they are fantastic cables, I'm more than happy with them in the other two applications. Just something about these cables and my phono/preamp combination.
$275 shipped in CONUS. Payment by paypal as gift.

Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.
