    A well deserved retirement. A huge thank you for making the best cables ever.

    At least we will always know that the quality was never compromised - I foresee the value of existing MIT cables appreciating.

    FWIW, MIT were the cables that convinced me that “cables actually mattered”…

    This is the type of thing that starts to make ME feel old....lol. Well deserved for sure. I'm glad I took many peoples advice here (especially F1) some 18-20 odd years ago. I plunked down my hard earned money (more than I ever spent on cables) on a full set of Terminator 2's (speakers and 3 sets of I/C's)

    I was a skeptic.............but now I don't use anything but MIT with few exceptions being Signal Cable.

    Happy Retirement and the legacy of MIT will live on....

    The Pooper troopers back .
    I’m a loyal subject to Transparent due to trying them first , I know if I tried MIT before hand or if I could just go back in time I’d be a MIT Man hands down.

    I really can’t believe they’re gone in the future

    Time feels like it’s accelerating faster every year

    Happy retirement Bruce Brisson . Working till 82 Your a legend 🫡

    Mine won't see the market till I'm dead!!! :D Wish I had the S1's, but I am not complaining..

    Very few Shotguns go up for sale anymore..

    Hope he enjoys his retirement..

    I have some MIT Shotgun MA's I was going to put on the Flea Market.....may be I'll keep them. It took me 6 months to find 2 pairs or S1's and Bi-Wire S1 speaker cables. I went from S3 to S1.

    There are a fair amount of Shotgun series FS these days, but people are nuts at their asking prices. The want full retail or above for a 15year old cable. That's why they are still for sale......lol

    Some of those high priced sales have been FS for over a year. The best ones are the sellers who went to an estate sale picked them up, not even knowing what they are. Posted terrible pics, with little to no description and ask over retail.

    I was able to buy NIB AVt3 and EXp1 speaker cables. I've seen Shotgun series NIB, not often, but once in awhile.

    Talk to Jonny. His cables are far superior. Not IMO, but IME.

    Yes ,Agreed ,Step back and consider that geography does indeed play a part in how the English language is perceived.

    Just to clarify my question. What Mit cables would be an equal substitute to the level Transparent cables I have?

    I believer Mits are a great investment !

    Any Knowledgeable feed back would be appreciated, thanks.

    Regarding F1, Sorry.

    After the Legends broke in properly, I have not thought about my 1.2TL's even once. The imaging and soundstage in my listening space is breathtaking. It can be an intimate private concert or it can become Albert Hall. The problem I was facing was that the TL's were simply too much speaker for the room... way too much. The addition of the Mcintosh C2800 and Shunyata Hydra/Typhon have taken things to a place where I can't even tell you when the last time I actively looked at changing something.

    We are talking about a full set of modded 1.2'tls. with Rings,BH5,Dynomatted baskets and to at least Vr3's Abbot equivalent crossover builds?

    The L800's are a superb speaker, don't get me wrong and worth every cent. I run both my systems with the exact same old stuff except the Transparent cable lvls. The L800's have reference biwire speaker cables with mm2 ,the xlr's are reference Xl's for the interconnects., not the full Reference mm2 like everything in the theatre /monlith's room. All cables were set by transparent for my equipment.

    I also run JLIT oppo205's direct to amp's and set its maxed volume to 80% for safety reasons and to roughly match the amps input sensitivity on both systems.

    In the Monolith/theatre room ,when I turn the volume on and its first lvl increment is 1 of 80. ,this gives around 43-50 db depending on music ,in no way is it missing any dynamic range or micro details, at this level the speakers fade away and my wife and self can talk for hours amongst it.

    Thank god she hasn't looked into my bank account but to be honest, Whats coming out of them right now ,is over riding any concern of finances. >:) hooked.

    May I ask what volume lvl where the 1.2's to much? they take up less floor space than the L800's and seem much easier to drive?
