Audioquest or Transparent?
Lots of cables watch up to Transparent below the Reference line at better prices. Once you get into the Reference line and up It changes in Transparent favor. But the price can be a major draw back.

Has any one found what would be the diminishing return on how many MC O5 you can put on one line? At the last Newport Audio show They had 4 or 5 ( 3 to 1) stack up on one line. Has any body gone beyond that?
