Transparent cables MM and MM2

I recently replaced Ultra XL bi-wire speaker cable with Super MM, and find it much more of an improvement than expected.

Anyone else-looks like the newer MM2s are better than the MM1 even the levels are different.

I can tell you from my personal experience that the MM2 is at the very least, one level higher when comparing the same level in MM1 but it is probably more like two levels. When I made the upgrade from Super MM1 to Ultra MM2, I took home a set of loaner Ultra MM1 IC's and Ultra MM1 biwire speaker cables from my local store that were already broken in so that I could have an idea as to the difference between the two for myself. I listened to those loaner cables for 4 days and nights untill I was able to pick up my new cables at Transparent. After only 3 days of running the new Ultra MM2 in my system they were already ahead of the Ultra MM1 and they were not even broken in yet. I also asked a local rep that works for Transparent when I was at their office the same question and he swore the upgrade was more like a 2 level jump. He also assured me that the Ultra MM2 was better choice than the Ref.MM1. The MM2 technology was taken from the Opus line...If you have seen my system in the Virtual section, you will know that I'm serious about cables. I hope this helps.

HamptonBeach-many thanks for the reply.
I think it might be a smart move to just go w/ the MM2s unless the MM1s are sold at super discounted prices and are 1 or 2 steps higher than the current MM2s.
Thanks so much... these Transparent cables are indeed very nice cables! pricey but worth the $ of admission.
In your opinion is it worth to have a higher level of IC than the speaker cables ? For example, Ultra IC MM2 + Super MM2 speaker cables ? or best the other way around ?

I did some comparisons between Super and Ultra for MM1 cables. I found that mixing cables worked fine. I ended up with Ultra for speakers and pre to amp interconnects and Super for the source to pre-amp interconnects. It seemed like as long as I had enough Ultras, I could mix in Supers without changing the sound much. So I would definitely think about mixing. In my case, the speaker cables seemed to be the most important. As always, it depends on the specific electronics and speakers.
