Views on Siltech cables with Pass Labs Pre/Power


Looking if anyone has views / experience with Siltech cables between Pass Labs Pre and Power amps? I'm looking at "Explorer" series and maybe "Ann" series.
Other considerations I thought of were Transparent "Ultra" and Silent Source "Signature". System will be mainly digital source. Tks in advance..

PS Other recommendations welcome.

I've not heard Ultra.. but many say its where Transparent sings.. vs plus and super. I've tried plus... and not sure how much a jump super is from plus.
yes.. i've a set list so to speak already.. i was going to do all at once.. but maybe what you say makes more sense.
I am looking for something that doesn't limit anything. Just looking for something true.
Based on feedback am going to demo 1) Discovery, 2) Silent Source, 3) Purist Audio and 4) Transparent Ultra.

Tks all for feedback .. and helping this newbie...
You are correct... i'm new to this. I'm looking for a sound that is involved, and most of all is musical to me.. and that over a long period of time doesn't decay my engagement into the musical experience.

I've Transparent and Purist arrive this week.. and will try these out. Then i plan to try Discovery and Silent Source.

I'm also planning on using same brand for interconnects and speaker wires.

I'm not sure if that is a good plan.. but its a start.
First compare done.. and honestly i'm blown away... Purist Elementa Adv..
all I can say is wow... really show up my old VDH. Low end is superb and the control. The high seem rolled off just a touch.. but betting further up line that comes back.. But wow.. Who ever recommended these .. man have i been missing out..
I didn't do anything with power cables.. but will request .. do they make that big a difference?
Well... completed all comparisons .. and came down to Discovery and Purist.
Decided on Purist.. now comparing some of the lines.. Tks all.. this has been
fun.. Next will be AC cables... i've no idea how 5-60 Hz effects audio signal,
but sounds like it does... will be interesting..
Ok.. I've completed my demo's. I purchased PAD Museaus Luminist rev (new) speaker cables and XLR's for between Tannoy D700's, Pass Labs XA30.5, Pass Labs X1 and Oppo 105. I was blown away and i'm very new to all this. but
for price and performance i find these amazing. Now.. a dealer let me borrow Venustas AC power cords (one for each component). I'm not sure i can go back. Again i'm new to this but did as advised.. and i can hear the changes with each one. So as it stands, I purchased 2 Ventustas AC cords.. and have a Canorus arriving to compare for the power amp. I'm told these are unreal.. but this whole experience has been amazing.. Can't wait to hear these...
Whats weird.. and i'm not sure this sounds right.. but seems power cords have a bigger effect on sound that interconnects... not sure if correct.. but i'm thinking i'd have to really move up in any line.. to get these effects with just interconnects. Just seems bottom from top thinking.. just interesting.
So.. not sure what this means. but see what you think. With 3 venustas AC with my musaeus interconnects.. i have a what seems to me a huge separation with everything.. and love the sound. I received the canorus AC.. and its broken in.. and added to my amp only. It brought what was separated back together and the bass seems more there.. but i think its because it was taken from mid. Not sure if that make sense.. but what i'm hearing .. with 3 different tracks.
Trying all canorus on everything now.. for couple of days.. to adjust sound.. then will retry all venustas. Maybe its cos i'm missing the separation at first.. maybe head adjustment required.. lol
