Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length


Anyone heard of these? A pair came with an Anthem P5 I just purchased. Another question I have, they’re too long and I hate to make them shorter. Could I coil them so I don’t have to cut them? Otherwise, I can’t use them. They will replace Audioquest Type II cables.

@ebm , the Audiogon webpage system has a nasty habit of not informing the poster that it has accepted the post, hence the double post, and no way of deleting the duplicate.
@OP, you probably don't want to coil the speaker cables, as it could introduce some magnetic distortion. Transparent can shorten them for a fairly reasonable charge. Otherwise, try to arrange the extra length in an informal manner, preferably with the cables crossing at 90 degree angles, if possible.
To be honest, if they are shorter, you will get better sound reproduction.

Good move. I hate to say it, but Transparent prices their work a bit too high. Considering they are in Maine, I doubt they are paying their workers at similar rates.

@oldschool,
Everything you change will make a difference. Whether it is positive change, or worth it monetarily, is the rub.
I notice you have a lot of AQ cables. Is there any reason why you are using the Transparent?

Oldschool, If I were you, I would put on a set of AQ cables.
I tried the Transparent, and spent way too much on having them upgraded to the latest iteration. They were good, but the AQ really seem more alive, and these are a pair of old Rockefeller cables I bought on the cheap.
I had John Rutan make a set of true biwire GO-4, but haven't installed them yet as I'm letting my new amps settle in.
