    Those will probably make a small difference, if any.

    Also, you can get them for cheaper elsewhere.

    It appears that MIT is aiming those at the HT inwall cable crowd. I don't know how they compare to the full blown cable versions with CVT couplers and MIT wire.

    I wonder if the jumpers that they have would be a good match for those of us using AI-1 Avel transformer to make the connections to the speakers?
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    Are any of you able to make out the termination on those jumpers? I emailed MIT about it last night and am waiting on a response.

    Would the speaker cable that these are attached too also have an effect on the sound ?

    Since the AVt modules have spring clips and most inwalls have spring clips, too, I'm guessing the jumpers are terminated w/ pins.

    Absolutely, that's why I said I don't know how the end result would sound in comparision to full blown MIT cables.

    Those are the ICONN bases, so you could use any of the ICONN ends.

    I'm not into it at all, this means that they are basically saying there wire itself is meaningless or all wire is meaningless and the network is where it is all about.

    I'm not in on the magic boxes, make high quality wire not boxes to go onto the wire. I'm so not into it.
