Transparent digital vs. Anaconda digital

Do you know the difference in properties between these two?

Audio is all about a personal preference.

The Transarent gives a more intimate stage compared to the Shunyata.

Shunyata makes instruments and voices bigger. This is one of the things I hate most. Why? Because instruments and voices are rather small in proportion in real.

Transparent gives a more realistic image. That is why it is more intimate. When I let people hear between an intimate stage and a stage which is rather big. People prefer a more intimate stage. This is a very important part for the emotion music can give.

It Always depends with which cable you compare it.

Because all different brands have their own properties in sound and in stage.

I recently did a comparison between a Shunyata powercable and conditioner. The KE powersource was superior to the AV of Shunyata.

Same about the Purist Audio powercable.

Simple questions ( from my personal perspective) are not that simple for many people who work in this business.

I have often asked to different distributers of they can describe the properties of the stuff they sell. Same about the people who work for brands in audio. A simple question; do you know the difference in properties of your products against the main competitors. Often they don't know. Same answers you get when I ask them if they know the differences when they use other cables of speakers.

Most people in audio do not focus on different properties of all the different parts. This is for me the key to get the best endresult.

Audio is all about properties. This makes you understand things better. So you can use them a lot more precise!

Many people don't know and are not aware of what an intimate image is. Even for free I would not want to use Shunyata cables in my set. They would screw everything.

A small and intimate image makes music a lot more emotional. When I am at a show and people their heads are extreme big.You are all mine. And I will ask you questions about how big you think a voice should be? In above 95% you get the answer: I don't know. Even when I ask the simple question: Do you think the image of your demo is realistic? They do not say yes.

Then I think; what the F....are you doing here! All these demos make audio not convincing. This is a big problem. In the last months some shop owners and I had chats about this issue.

The level of good demos at shows is getting difficult to find these days. There are much more average or even worse.

I see this as bad advertising for audio in general. It is caused by the lack in insight and knowledge about audio!

Every single brand in cables have their own properties. These you Always will hear back. But many people are not aware how big an instrument or voice should be. I asked this question many times to people who give a demo.

When you don't know, you never will focus on this part.

Purist Audio is beside a more intimate stage superior in blacks and physical image compared to Shunyata. Transparent also have a more intimate stage. They also do not achieve the same level what Purist Audio can reach.

My focus is only on the best products. Everything what it less convincing I don't care anymore.

Often at shows when Shunyata is used the image is too big. I go to shows with people who are also know in this world. We have the same thoughts.

Shunyata does not use silver, only copper. I can create things what with copper is not possible. I have proven this when clients had also expensive copper cables from other brands.

Audio is all about comparing. When you can achieve more details and a better separation than other competitors you will win. I love competition in audio a lot.

I use those products what give me a better endresult. This I can let people hear. When we go back to those other cables is it clear that there are less details and separation is less obvious.

I like things to be clear en easy to understand. During listening first I don't say anything. But later I explain things to make it more easy to understand. Then we listen again.

I love a full 3 dimensional stage with stunning blacks and separation. This makes listening to music very addictive.

With class A amps I have a lot of colours I want and need for a realistic sound. This I also use to the max.

At a few shops we had the same thoughts. Also at the distributer We heard the same kind of image we don't like.

I would suggest lend some Purist Audio Limited Edition and compare them. Then you know......

Many American cable brands have the property to make
instruments and voices bigger than they are in real.

It is even called overhere; american sound. In Europe we
prefer a more intimate and realistic image.

hahahahaha...you life on the other side of the ocean.

When we hear a stage with big heads we always say: American sound.

I sold NBS in the past, makes eveything huge. I spoke the person who was the distributer of NBS. He said; they like to make things bigger!!
