OK, so for those who are familiar with MIT series interconnects, I'm wondering if there is anything between the Shotgun series and AVT (I believe its called) series. Basically, I'd like to see if there are options beneath Shotguns that would be a definitive move up from what I have.
But just for fun, what is considered a reasonable/normal price for a used/good condition 1-meter pair of Shotguns? <<cringing>>
As you can see from my sig, I've got a combo of AQ diamondbacks & SC Analog IIs in my 2 channel at present. Trying to think of how to move up from here...
Been talking with Ben and Ben's silvers are a possibility for the next move up in ICs, but want to put all of my options on the table so that I can think long term.

Doesn't look like there's anything between the Technology Series/AVt and Shotgun's Norm. I'll post the link, but I may be wrong. Just a heads-up. I bought some AVt2 series IC's and speaker cables from inspiredsport's just recently and I gotta say these cables are fantastic. Just now starting to break and I'm noticing an improved sound stage with much more detail and separation than I ever had in my system prior. The best improvement/investment in my audio journey yet for sure. :)
This was a big step up in my case because I was using Monster Cable IC's. In your case, I'm not sure.
Never heard the Signal's or AQ's, but I am aware of the positive feedback I've seen in regards to those cables. YMMV so good luck.

Edit: I think daboyz bought some of these also and has used the Signal Cable as well. You might want to give him a shout out and ask if he can elaborate on his experience.

Norm,
Around 320.00 for used/demo give or take although the price has been rising. I got mine a little at a time, I do recall once buying two sets of Joe Abrams demo sets and he did cut me a deal, I would suggest you talk to him.

Actually i did just check A-Gon and these are a deal as far as price.

The order is AVt(3, 2, 1), Shotgun(3, 2, 1), AVt MA, then Shotgun MA.
I haven't heard the regular AVt series, but have been told there is a audible difference between them and the Shotgun. You'll also have to move up to the Shotgun series for adjustable impedance networks and locking RCA's.

Thanks, guys, for the info and the heads up. That does seem to be a great deal (on the pair in A-gon)...though these particular pairs will probably get snatched up before I can make a definitive conclusion on the route to go, if they haven't already. But all of this helps...
