Seen these MIT cables on eBay and was wondering if anyone has bought anything from the seller. The price is outstanding, but it's in Honk Kong.

Thinking about buying a pair. What do you think?
-
I dunno, Lee. I'd pass, personally. I paid less than that for my AVt2s. I'd shoot Gavin a PM and ask if they have something available.
I talked to Joe earlier but these were cheaper and I was wondering if they were fake. -
Anything that says China or South Africa I flag on ebay. So much fraud on that site now.
-
if they are new, IMO they should come with bananas and spades..
I would pass.. -

I just read the ad and got that "to good to be true" rush up my spine. If Joe Abrams can't match it then I would be highly suspicious.

It's only $130 which isn't a lot for cables.
Contacted Joe yesterday and he has these same exact cables for $70 more. -

Im already running shotgun s3 wires and ic's in my 2 channel. I think shotguns would be a bit overkill for my HT setup though it would sound nice. -

I love my S3's. I agree the AVT's would be perfect.. -

So does that mean I can have yours? -

Hey Leroy,
Just and FYI!
I use to run Ben's silvers in my 2ch rig until the Shotgun S1 demo Jesse gave me and then I went with all S3s in the 2ch rig. I've relegated Ben's cables to my HT and am very happy with them. Hey man they are a lot less expensive than the MITs your looking at. I swear by MIT but for my HT Ben's cables just shine.
Merry Christmas Bro! -
Just buy 'em...you'll never be able to tell the difference & keep the extra dough in your wallet. They sure do look purdy though.

Yeah, you're right all cable sound the same. -

I am going to use my AVT speaker cables for my Dreadnought A1 cable that I will be making very soon..

Now, now...we're not implying that at all. -
Description says Pair with "SPADE PLUGS", picture shows one cable with PINS

Truthfully I'd give Joe A the business, even if it costs more. He is a great guy and will help you out in a pinch.Vinyl, the final frontier...

I looked at those very same cables about 6 mos ago, he still has 4 sets. I did email the link to Gavin and he said they did "look" authentic. But I passed on them also.
