Fake MIT cables

[leroyjr1]

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.

[Keiko]

Wouldn't hurt giving Joe Abrams a shout out either.

Edit:

Just saw your last. Hmmm... I know there's another site if you don't mind buying used. I don't recall the link off hand. I'll see if I can find it, unless someone else chimes in.

I think this is it. The AVts are much pricier than the ones you found on ebay.... I dunno, Lee. Wouldn't hurt to shoot Gavin a PM and see if there's anything available.

Those cables may very well be genuine. Who knows? I'm generally skeptical when it comes to these things on ebay, especially with the HK sellers.

Good luck!

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..

From Hong Kong + Price too good to be true = Fake

[hearingimpared]

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.

If you are making that kind of investment, order from a reputable source, period.

Agreed, that price is Too Good to be TRUE!

[leroyjr1]

Thanks everyone I'm going to pass.

[grif32]

He has great Feedback and sells some high end stuff. Tough one.

It's only $130 which isn't a lot for cables.

Contacted Joe yesterday and he has these same exact cables for $70 more.

Shotguns!!!!

Shotguns!!!!

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..:tongue:

[pearsall001]

Now, now...we're not implying that at all.

Description says Pair with "SPADE PLUGS", picture shows one cable with PINS

that pic looks different than my AVT3's.

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.

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. Just info.

[polkfarmboy]
