Signal Cable or Transparent ?

Im looking at Transparent cables and interconnects for a 2 channel sysetem with Plinius amp and Totem Hawk speakers.The Transparent cables are $500 and the interconnects are around $130 a pair. Signal Cable's products will cost about 1/3 of the cost of Transparent's. Reviewers have said nothing but good things about the Signal Cable wires. Quality is my priority, with cost being secondary, though. Any thoughts on whether to go with the less expensive Signal Cable's??

The quality of Frank's cables is very high. I agree with Triumph, you need to make it your baseline cable, it really is outstanding in this bracket. Transparent is great cable, but why spend the money without testing the waters in another fantastic and less expensive brand.

Odd - The opinion you express is subjective, but I am happy that you found what works best for you. That's the most important thing. I hope you demo'd your friends' interconnects "blind" otherwise the opinion offered is useless and 100% placebo.

I found that the Signal is not up to the level of my 2CH only IC's, as I use MIT S3 in that rig. Double blind comparisons of the MIT and the Signal is easy to distinguish...probably along the lines of your Transparent demo, beings they are heavily influenced by MIT in the first place.

Hey, it's a great cable, and a great bargain just like many other DIY based designs. I don't think there is any need to bash it due to your "mission". lol
