| Review: Transparent Audio Cable Ref + mm2 ICs + SC Interconnect hi benpup,re: your B&W800D SC. i have no clue which would be better : ultra biwired vs TA ref single wired (both mm1 tech) but in many aspecs i think the ultra+mm2 biwire would be better than the ref+mm1 single wired. keep in mind: B&W des... | |
| Review: Transparent Audio Cable Ref + mm2 ICs + SC Interconnect hi benpup -from my experience with brand new TA ref ICs and SC with the mm2 tech, it takes a full 200 hours for the cables to run in. less hours, they do sound lean and at times thin, as can many components during the first few hundred hours. i do... | |

| Review: Transparent Audio MM2 tech on Ultra IC Interconnect my sc and ic have passed the 200 hour period. the presentation has opened up more fully and the top has settled down very significantly. this did not happen at the 100 hour mark. i wonder if in fact these cables, like many other components, really... | |
| Transparent MM2 for those of us with relatively more "modest" budgets than those above who are fortunate enough to live with TA opus and similar top notch cables, the upgrade to the mm2 in the mid-range models such as ultra and reference is an outstanding upgrade... | |
| Amp for Wilson Sophia i am only familiar with the sophia 1 thru various comments made on sites such as these. i have auditioned the sophia 2s at length. perhaps an amp that presents in the neutral to neutral to slightly warm [vtl] rather than highly analytical and/or l... | |
| Wilson Audio Owners.....Sophia's i auditioned the sophia 2's at length before moving up to the w/p 8. the sophia 2s have superb coherence, staging, and excellent transparency overall, especially at low listening volume levels. set up, as mentioned , is critical, as is amp matchin... | |

| Review: Transparent Audio MM2 tech on Ultra IC Interconnect hi robert / strapper211. well, if any system can reveal the difference btwn the mm1 and mm2 at the top level, yours is one. thanks for taking the time to read and comment.good to know that even at the very top end of the TA line, the mm2 upgrade i... | |
| Review: Transparent Audio MM2 tech on Ultra IC Interconnect PLEASE NOTE: my review is based solely on subbing ONLY 1 pair of ultra mm2 ICs in my system. i do not know the extent of cumulative change when all ICs + SC are moved to ultra mm2. i lack the breadth of experience in audio to speculate! |
