Transparent interconnect Cable, Super versus ultra

Yes. As in all of audio, it depends on your equipment. Ultra is a significant improvement in my system over Super.

I have done two major system upgrades over the last 12 years. I got rid of the components causing excessive high frequency hash and too much treble allowing me to incorporate really transparent wires. So I dropped in older Transparent and some newer Super… then slowly swapped out for contemporary Ultra. Through conversations with my dealer And my experience. The contemporary Ultra are a very significant improvement over earlier generations and models.

I am very happy with my Ultra. My system is shown under my ID.

I do not use Transparent in my home theater. That is a whole different thing. It does not require the resolution of my audio system. They would not be worth it to me.

I think my preamp to amp run is around 16’.

My older components would not sound good with Ultra, I drove very revealing ribbon speakers with solid state gear. Transparent’s Schlick is transparency… passing on exactly what it gets…. You get no tuning. Today, I want to hear my components… there is nothing harsh or trebly about them. 
 

Comparing them to Cardas which is always warm an calming… the lower the cost Cardas the more calming. Hence, why they are so popular… they cover up deficiencies. Transparent does not. Each level up is the same only lower noice floor, better dynamics, and bass.

They have a trade in policy. But when I have inquired the discount was so low, I just chose to keep them for my secondary systems or experimenting. I have not inquired about adjacent models.
