ghdprentice, Hi, I have a very nice but budget minded system. More on that later. I recently purchased a new tube amp, Audio Hungary Qualton P 100. 1/2 of my pair of Audio Art AAC Statement e SC Cryo Speaker Cables didn’t reach the tube amp. Out of impatience I purchased a single old 15 foot Transparent Ultra MM. Ends up I like it and started looking for a pair of G5 supers or ultras at 10/12 feet. The old MM I have I will move to the center, and the Audio Art Cables will go back to my solid state amp.
It's because of this search that I stumbled upon the Transparent counterfeits. I Googled Transparent to see what was out there and all these $360 counterfeits popped up. It looks like you buy the cables from China. They come in a polybag. Then you can buy the boxes for $50 a pop on eBay. I mean, who buys a Transparent Audio Reference PowerLink and sells his original boxes?
