Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length
gdnrbob, It’s a good thing you aren’t me as I’m very happy with my current set-up. I assure you, if I ever decide to upgrade from these, which I doubt can be done under a couple large ones, I’ll let you know so you can buy them from me for a song....

The Transparent came with the Anthem P5 as I purchased it used. Got a heck of a deal since the Transparent Music Wave cables were $1,700 new. AQ cables are about as good as any when you get higher up the food chain.

I know this is an old thread that I started but haven't really taken an inventory of everything in my system until now. Heck, I might have missed an item or two but thought I'd share what I can see/find in the system. I definitely CAN hear a diffe... 
I need some advise on a shipping disaster.
Funny, no one in this thread mentioned use of PayPal. They cover the buyer and seller. I wouldn’t buy anything without using PayPal. It doesn’t matter if you buy through Agone, Craigslist, or any other internet market. Just to CYA, whenever you bu... 
Incredible deal on incredible amp
I feel your pain. I have an Anthem A5 for sale in a sealed box just serviced by the factory so its as fresh as any untouched "B" stock. Been trying to sell it for two months now and only one low-ball nibble. I tried selling it here and now on anot...

Got 'em back and been listening carefully. I can't say what I'm hearing is attributed to just the cables since I've gone through my whole system in the last several months but, my audio sounds friggin awesome! I've listed all the components of my ...

I'm only swapping out the FL & FR for the Transparent Audio. Hoping to have them back within a week or so. I think I'm done buying audio equipment for awhile. Maybe next year swap out my Sharp 70" for a Samsung 80" screen. 😁Regarding the FL &a...

Just called George Meyer today and they ordered the lugs for my cables last week. It’s less than a 1 hour job to install them. Simple crimp and solder but the cable is so thick, probably 10 AWG so soldering might be a bit tricky. I’d rather an exp...

Update----Dropped them off at the local high-end audio repair center. When I called Transparent Audio and got a quote, it was excess of $400.00. They would get new terminals, inspected, certified, and warranted. I said "Thank You"! I'm waiting for...

Just spoke to Transparent Audio and confirmed they are the original MM cable. Yes the current generation is G5. These sold originally for about $1700 and have a trade in value of about $800 now. Since they came with my P5 when I bought it last wee...

How do I tell the difference between the MM1 vs MM2?All it says on one side is Transparent Musicwire Super and the opposite side says 38854MM. Does that say which one it is? Also, what are they worth?I think I will use them for the LF and RF as th...

I would assume they are light years better than the Audioquest Type II cables I'm now using for all 5 channels? Since I only have these for the LF & RF, the Audioquest will provide for the center and surrounds. It's that or sell the TMW and ke... 
Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal?
***UPDATE***My Anthem A5 will be here Friday but one caveat, just picked up my (new to me) Anthem P5 from UPS. OMG is it a BEAST! Holy crap, it's 130 lbs and just connected it up. This may not be the place for a review and I cannot articulate like... 
Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal?
Just received the service report. All of the power supply capacitors (they look like long C-cell size batteries) needed replacing. It's like a new amplifier now. I understand the caps are what fails soonest in most cases. Funny thing, I just purch... 
Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal?
***UPDATE***Well, my Anthem A5 made it to its birthplace safely and today I had a conversation with one of the customer service reps. Sure enough, there WAS a problem. Replace a couple bad capacitors. I don't have the hard copy report yet but I'm ...
