Transparent's Network Boxes


I know this has been a topic before but I was wondering if anyone really knew what Transparent puts in those cool looking black boxes. God knows they charge enough for their cables and one would think they would put a picture of the network box contents on their website but no such luck. I've heard everything from a single cheap resistor hot glued in place to exactly three parts in each model no more or less. I've researched this on audio asylum and the opinions vary as well. If anyone knows for sure and better yet can direct us to a photo url, that would be wonderful.

dave which cable provided the grills? in other words i hear a distint difference in the top end of my my system without grills.
Grills make a difference with my speakers also. My designer set the speakers up with the grills and said they are meant to be on as that is how he tuned them.

Even different stands make a difference. Some speakers are more critical to change than other's.

Last year I tested to see what cable designs worked best and then sent them to 7 people with various systems and some dealers to get feedback to see weather there would be synergy problems or issues.

I have listened to several systems with Transparent cables and while they are smooth I do not think the network boxes are beneficial. They might be better in some systems ,but in others they are not. I tried to design cables which had wide synergistic reliability with out clipping the freq extremes. Pretty hard thing to do.

Good luck!

I was actually able to get a network box open on a pair of transparent music wave plus. I couldn't really make out what the round, cylinder-like objects were under the hot glue. All I do know is that since then I have sold those cables and moved up to the Transparent Super level cables because they sounded damn good. They definitely have a very unique sound to them and they have incredible slam in low frequencies however I could see where this wouldn't be the right match for all systems. Bill
I cannot get past adding a network to cables as that ingest something which over rides the purity of the signal. Living in Maine I have heard their wires and am not impressed for teh price.

I've noticed a trend here and on other sites. It seems that the most consistent Transparent (and other well-known brands) bashers are people who assemble and sell cables as a hobby or home business.

Guys, let me give you a tip straight from Business 100 class: your business will not succeed on a strategy of bashing companies you consider to be competition.
