Do Transparant Cables have a sonic sig?

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.

As stated, all cables have a sonic signature. What you would like to find is cables with the least coloration, the "open window" effect. I also agree that when testing cables stay consistant throughout the system. I have been using Transparent Audio Super IC's and speaker cable. No more. I recently listened to silver IC's from Vantage Audio and I am switching. When I put them in the "window opened". I also have a gold IC from Vantage that is currently under investigation. I suggest you give them a try (www.vantageaudio.com). Good Luck, Doug
