Harmonic Technology vs Transparent Cables

I don’t see many comparisons on these two brands. I’m currently using Harmonic Technology Pro-9 Reference internal biwires with my ML383 and Revel F30’s, and HT Pro-Silway II XLR’s on my Ayre CX-7eMP. I’m curious as to how they compare to Transparent’s Gen 5 Super, Gen 5 Plus speaker cables and interconnects, as well as the older Musicwave and Musiclink generations? Anyone have experience with both brands and these models?

@Jond Thank you. Must just be my addled brain… I had to go back and look. I am talking about Harmonic Tech. I have quite a bit of the stuff. My mistake.

I was a long time user of Harmonix and now have been a long time user of Transparent. Harmonix are great budget interconnects and cables and Transparent is a great provider of audiophile interconnects and cables. Huge difference. 
 

If you have great budget high end gear, then harmonix is great.. if you have true high end gear… that will sounds best with Transparent. Transparent is exactly what it says… if you have truly high end gear that is what you want… nothing in between. If you have lessor quality stuff, then a bit of relaxation and warmth is in order… Harmonix.

 

However, I have heard that Harmonix quality in construction has fallen. Not a huge problem… be careful with the connectors.
