Great. I am surprised how much they improved my fronts and center in the HT. I might move my two-channel file player into it on Friday, and play some music.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

I tried them in my office rig and thought they sounded quite nice.Political Correctness'.........defined

I'd be interested in trying them out."Make a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Light
a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life." -
I was actually afraid to try them.... If I don't know how good they are I won't be tempted to buy some. plus after 27 years next to the drop hammers - crickets don't talk to me anymore.2 ch- Polk CRS+ * Vincent SA-31MK Preamp * Vincent Sp-331 Amp * Marantz SA8005 SACD * Project Xperience Classic TT * Sumiko Blue Point #2 MC cartridge

Shipping costs scared me away.
Seriously dude!?!
It's like $40 maybe $50 to demo $4000.00 worth of cables.

No problem Skip, just poking at ya. TNTsTunes has signed up, so the cables will be around a bit longer if you change your mind.Political Correctness'.........defined

It's great idea to check out cables before laying down a lot of money, so shipping costs are a pretty small fraction of what the actual cost of those cables are. I'm glad I got to have a set on my rig for a while. I didn't go with MIT but they are a very well built product. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to step up to quality cables for sure!!"if it's not fun, it's not worth it & remember folks, "It's All About The Music"!!

I want to thank Jesse again for putting together all of the various MIT Cable Demo Programs over the years. Without this Demo offering, I would have never had the opportunity to check out these awesome wires.
I was able to experience the Shotgun S3.3 cables and was certainly taken aback by their performance, so much so that I've acquired a pair of Shotgun S1 Speaker wires and a pair of S1 Interconnects. I'll be picking up at least one more pair of S1 i/c's very soon to finish up the "connection" portion of my set-up.
Thanks again for your time & trouble, Mike -

Amen! Hats off to Jesse for putting this demo program together. It's been going how long? Three or four years? Like you said a lot of people had a chance to get their ears on some great cables.
Mike, you'll like the S1 chain. I think that I have 3 sets of S1 interconnects and an 8 ft pair of speaker cables. I also think that I have an S2 and an S3 interconnect somewhere in the system.

Carl, I'm enjoying the S1's to the point I can honestly say, they are my last cable, I have ZERO desire to upgrade any of the wire in my set-up.
Joe Abrams makes it easy (eh, easier) to own the MIT Shotgun S3 & S1 line at half price!
