I have used signal cables: bi-wires, xlr interconnects, and power plugs (3). I thought that they sounded great but I didn't really compare them to anything. I tried my friends Transparent Wave Plus cables on my system, and presto, it kicked the crap out of the Siganl. They are not in the same league and don't let anyone fool you into thinking that they are! I purchased a pair of Audioquest Cheetas and guess what, it kicked the crap out of the Signals! Again, not even in the same league. I bought a pair of Transparent cables along with the Cheetas and a set of Virtual Dynamic Nite XLR's(which put the Cheetas to shame)and it was probably the best upgrade that I have made in all the years of switching components around! My next mission is to get rid of the Signal power cords and buy some Virtual Dynamic plugs. So please do yourself a favor and stick with the Transparent, the Signal's are no match! Hope this helps.
Signal Cable or Transparent ?
Im looking at Transparent cables and interconnects for a 2 channel sysetem with Plinius amp and Totem Hawk speakers.The Transparent cables are $500 and the interconnects are around $130 a pair. Signal Cable's products will cost about 1/3 of the cost of Transparent's. Reviewers have said nothing but good things about the Signal Cable wires. Quality is my priority, with cost being secondary, though. Any thoughts on whether to go with the less expensive Signal Cable's??
