    Bummer, it is what it is.
    In my mind he is to be commended for not selling out. In the end it would have just been a shadow of itself after whoever raped it for all the money they could suck out of it before they sold the name to a Chinese company.

    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 🫡

    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

    There are some that are reasonably priced, but I saw what you're talking about.

    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.
