I used to run all Transparent Music wave plus IC's and super SC, I moved to all XLO bottom of the barrel stuff after running a frequency response sweep when one day playing with my system. The Transparent cable seemed (pretty obvious really) to change the frequency response of the system (mainly in the midbass and bass). When switching to the XLO or any other decently designed cable, the midbass slam and bass depth came back which surprised me as I'd always had those cables. No more rolled off treble too.If you like it keep it, but realize it is doing some pretty strange things.
Current and Former Transparent Audio owners
I would like some suggestions from you folks.I currently have my system wired with balanced super and never got around to the same speaker cables.I need to get a longer cable to go between my pre and amp and was thinking this might be a good time to try something different.When I wired the stereo with transparent I had tried XLO,Kimber,Mit,Cardas in my system previously and the transparent was just the right fit so I went as far up the line as I could afford.There is so much out there that I havent even heard like the harmonic,zen,and purist just to name a few so I was wondering if any of you transparent owners had jumped off the bandwagon for something better or sightly different for the same or even less money.I like the "house" sound of transparent not to say there isnt something I would'nt like better if I got to hear it in my system.I wouldnt mind a cable with the same sound but maybe a little faster or maybe a little more of the "slam" factor.Also I have never heard any ultra in my set up so maybe that is a option as well? Any of you ultra owners who stepped up from super is welcome to chime in on differences.
Thanks in advance for your input.
