I would say those are bogus.This was touched on the other day but alot of the A.Q. cables from the Pacific Rim are fake.Ebay is loaded with them.....
-
Also a bunch of PS Audio Power Cables on e-bay from Hong Kong as well. Part of me says they are real because that is where they are made, and the other part says fake and steer clear. Guess I'll steer clear just in case.
-
It could be a typo on the BIN price. But he also lists shipping at $12.99 but contradicts that in the listing as "free shipping to the lower 48 states".
I don't know if the cables are fake or not, but there certainly are a few red flags on the listing.Speakers: Polk LSi15
Pre: Adcom GFP-750 with HT Bypass
Amp: Pass Labs X-150
CD/DVD Player: Classe CDP-10
Interconnects: MIT Shortgun S3 Pro XLR
Speaker cables: MIT MH-750 bi-wire
TT:Micro Seiki DD-35
Cartridge:Denon DL-160
Phono Pre:PS Audio GCPH -
Eh,, here we go,, a cable naysayer,so I have to ask,, what cables are you using,,speaker and interconnects.JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

They're cheap enough that it really doesn't matter....are you really out that much money? The velcro wrap is looking stock and the barrels have changed enough that they also look stock. The new EXP series has different terminations.
If in doubt, contact MIT or Joe Abrams from Audiogon.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint. -
I sent the guy an email asking a few questions. He says he has the original packaging so I wanted to get a pic of that ect.
If they are cheap enough and the BIN is not and error I'll pick them up just for the heck of it to see. -
Interesting... if shipping is free I'd try them for 4 dollars.

I do really want a pair of these:MIT ERMINATOR 音频线,来自美国著名线材大厂 but I don't want to have PETA after me!!!

the guy is located in Chula Vista, Ca. not that far from me.
if no one else is gonna buy these, i think i will.
see if i can pick them up.mole' -
It's just a yawning, skip clicking response by both parties. I guess even $3.99 is too much money for the anti-cable individuals, sheesh when does it end? At this point it's simply personal and becoming old. Why can't we simply comment on the original question without it becoming a very uninteresting debate?CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers?

Now that is the most interesting post thus far! Has anyone? Or has anyone with any interest in the cables checked with Joe Abrams as to their authenticity?;) -

True, but I hate to tell ya, $3.99 is alot of money to me right now and probably to several others here affected by this economy. -

It shows that the buy it now listing is closed, I assume because of Ric's transaction. There is no new listing in that link above.
EDIT; I just checked again and there are several new listings for them. -

Yeah so I see. That's a disgrace charging $18.99 for shipping for a $4.00 item. I just shipped a pretty heavy step-up transformer to GA and it only cost $7.02.

I don't need economic reminders, nor does anyone else Joe....if you can't afford it, you simply don't buy it.
