recommends for interconnects?

Looking to replace old (and tired) MIT shotgun XLR interconnects between Mac 402 amp and Levinson pre and CD player.

there are so many cables and reviews and opinions out there. Looking for similar or slight improvement in sound, but under a few hundred dollars. Is that even possible?   1 meter with XLR terminating both ends.....

Ideas and thoughts much appreciated.

I have to ask...exactly what is a "tired" cable?  I've seen frayed cables where cats went to town, cables that have been cut, and cables that have come apart because someone pulled on them the wrong way.  But "tired"?  Thanks in advance.

Only if you’re looking for dull and lifeless sound.

It is just like very time some guy goes into the Rennlist Porsche forums and asks experienced Porsche owners which Porsche 911 he should upgrade to from his 993, a few guys say there is no difference, and he should just get a Honda Civic.

Actually no, that never happens.

If you enjoy the M.I.T. house sound, consider a new version of the Shotgun. If not, Transparent is a sonic match for McIntosh and Mark Levinson gear. Keep me posted on your upgrade.

 

Happy Listening!
