Any thoughts on how Transparent Audio Super MM2 technology speaker cables would fair against Transparent Audio Ultra XL speaker technology? Has anyone compared them?
Anyone heard of Reveal speaker cables? A member inboxed me regarding then and claiming them to be better than TA. I personally never heard of them or the new technology. Any thoughts??
I thought the Transparent Ultra mm2 were great on everything until I hooked them up to a Pass Labs First watt M-2 amp, the amp is great but is way too dark with Transparent Cable, subtractive, just wrong! A good non-network cable sounds wonderful on this amp.
I have been using Transparent for some time now. I called Transparent and requested a sincere description of the difference between the performance characteristics of from the previous MM2 gen to the current G5. I was told that the new generation 5 is a significant improvement over the earlier MM2 generation. Also, I was told that each level of product of gen 5 performs as well or better than the previous next higher MM2 product level. I upgraded my cables from MM2 Super to Generation 5 Ultra and indeed, there is a visceral and tangible improvement in harmonic presence and increased detail and texture. Generation 5 has moved my system closer to audio realism. There is improved enjoyment listening to my system.
I picked up a used pair of Shunyata Anaconda Zitron XLR going from phono amp to pre amp which sounded good but on a few songs the cymbols were not sharp so I took my TP Super MM2's XLR and hooked them up and it was superior in sound to the Shunyata at half the price.I went and got a good deal on TP Ultra Gen 5 XLR which did improve over the Supers but the jump between Shunyata to TP was almost night and day better.
