MIT AVT MA vs. Shotgun S1


Hi everybody,

I would like to know if anybodyhave experience with those cables and can share their opinion.
I am trying to move up with cables.
I have shotgun S1 interconnect and speaker's cable.

Mit's website says the AVT MA is a good upgrade to the shotgun S1 but I would like to know if that is true.

Thank you for the attention.

The MIT MA cables sound quite different to the Generation 3 2C3D cables. I've had Shotgun S1 cabling, S1.3, Oracle V1.2 and Magnum MA cabling. Currently I have Magnum M1.3 cabling. The Magnum vs the Shotgun cables is substantial, in terms of instrument texture, tone, transparency and soundstaging...very close to Oracle! MA sounded more diffuse, less focused and more fuzzy...warm enough and enveloping but not as well organized. System variables will effect performance, but for me the decision was easy...Gen 3 is more for my tastes:O) Joe Abrams at Equus Audio can help you make a decision as well!
First off, I would recommend the new Gen 3 Magnum or even the Gen 3 Shotgun series over any of the aforementioned cables...they are special and rival my previous Oracle V1.2 cables! I would also suggest you check with Joe Abrams at Equus Audio for the best advice and pricing:O)
Yes, I auditioned the S1.3 cables before I upgraded to M1.3 cables. I also owned the magnum MA cables before and did not like their presentation at all. The Gen 3 2C3D cables give me a more well defined perspective, a more detailed soundstage and better sense of the acoustic space or venue. The MA stuff sounded less clear and vague in comparison.
They are terrific Stefanoo...I was unclear in my post, I have the M3.3 speaker cables and the M1.3 IC's. The 3.3's are nothing to apologize for!!
