| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I have to say I am using Transparent Ultra Gen 5 cables with my new Focal Kanta No.2’s (Krell amplification and Yamaha CD S2100) ....just absolutely riveting! So lifelike on all levels...shockingly realistic to the point of enveloping me in the a... | |
| It's Simple Breaking in new custom made Transparent Ultra Gen 5 cables...oh my!!! | |
| Curious How These Nordost Speaker Cables Do What They Do Listening to Robert Hall Lewis on my system....the Transparent Gen 5 Ultras are astounding! If you frequent the symphony or live music in general, what the Transparent cables convey is just simply jaw droppingly right across the frequency range. F... | |
| Curious How These Nordost Speaker Cables Do What They Do Uberwaltz- I go to the Symphony so I don’t have to wonder :) | |
| It's Simple Lalitk...precisely what I was trying to convey:) | |
| Curious How These Nordost Speaker Cables Do What They Do God forbid you have any natural bass bloom or overtones like actual instruments do in an orchestra!! That would be sooo distracting | |
| Curious How These Nordost Speaker Cables Do What They Do The Nordost design is fundamentally flawed. Music is not portrayed naturally, the fundamentals are skewed higher on the scale and the overtones are not harmonious. Just plain wrong sounding. IMHO | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Only over time, with familiar material that exploits the musical spectrum to its fullest, can a decision be made properly. That decision is personal. Everyone also hears differently and has unique auditory biases. Perhaps counterintuitive to th... | |

| It's Simple If the audio chain consisted of one box connected to the master feed via lossless transfer on the input and your brain connected directly to the output via cyber/lossless transfer then perhaps you would have a bit of a point. As it is, everything... | |
| It's Simple Ian, your summation is fairly spot on...all I can offer is extensive experience with tons of gear and cables...the preferred remedy is of course in the ear of the beholder. | |
| It's Simple Shadorne...you are incorrect, IMHO! I’ve had $20k preamps etc.. the more high fidelity a component, the more twitchy it can be to even the subtlest changes in the audio chain. Then again, not everyone can hear that well nor care as much as the n... | |
| Transparent Audio Gen4 vs Gen5 I think getting the right mix of cables for a system takes time and experimentation! Also, I have made the mistake of not fully breaking in cables, which can confuse things. | |
| It's Simple Ok, let’s do this! I’ve owned more than a considerable cross section of various cables and gear over the past 4 decades. In my experience, the only cabling that could consistently reproduce the full measure of my musical repertoire, have had net... | |
| Digital vs Vinyl: The winner is ?? I must admit, as I have mentioned in my post about my Focal Kanta No.2 speakers, my digital based system can re-create the experience I have at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia. A big part of that experience is a quiet background from which the ... |
