Do Transparant Cables have a sonic sig?

yes they do. When planning to recable your system it is very important to try the same cable through out your system. If you dont you will never fully know what the brand of cable added or took away from your systems performance. I was using all transparent ultras which where very good but I tried the Harmonic Techs. and it was asthough someone lifted a vail of the vocals.And I also found out of most of the cables I tried they had the least sonic additive of any of them. And thats what you want a cable that doesnt add or take away.( they all do but you want it to be at the smallest degree possible so it allows you to hear you gear) And the harmonics worked for me. Needless to say I sold all my transparents and went HT. Good Luck

I agree with Lev335, you can try just one i.c or just the speaker wire. But to really know what particular cable design is doing to your sound change them all to the same brand, or at least I have found this true with the Transparent stuff. Good luck. By the way, what kind of sound are you looking for?

Lev335, I am in a similar situation. I have switched my Transparent Super interconnects out for Harmonic Technology Truthlinks (great fit and finish). I found them a better match with my tube gear, plus the warm signature of the copper Truthlinks took the bite out of my NHT VT-1.2's (punishingly bright at times). Now I am seriously considering switching out my Super Bicable XL speaker cables as well.

I have aragon, EAD CD, Paradigm Studio 80 combo. Can seem hot and forward at times. EAD is an improvement over my old Marantz CD63. Using Kimber for now. Suggestions? I want a little more bloom and a softer lower treble. Thanks.

Dave, you should try out the Harmonic Technology Truthlinks. I've found their tone to be warm and laid back, while still letting a 6922/KT90 tube amp complement give me the "forward" midrange with good bass control that I was looking for. If the copper Truthlinks seem too warm, the silver Pro-Silway Mk II's sound great. They seemed very transperent to my ear.
