XL or non-XL Transparent cables ???



Hi everybody,

I want to buy some Transparent Audio cables, and I hesitate beetween XL and non XL cables.

Cables from that company use XL technology since 1997/1998, and I was not audio-fan 10 years ago. Consequently, I've never had the opportunity to listen to non-XL cables.

So I would like to know if there exist a big difference beetween old non-XL cables, and XL ones.
Do they sound the same ?
Perhaps yes, or perhaps not in which case XL logo is just here for commercial and marketing purposes...

Can someone help ?

Regards,
Steve

I had both originally. The jump between Non XL & XL was very large. The MM is a further jump but with different gains. From memory the XL version had siginificantly more detail. After hearing the improvement I upgraded to all XL tech. not until I was 100% XL tech did I realize how major an improvement it was.
