The original Vandersteen sub cable has long disappeared, so I had to buy something new.
I took Amarg's suggestion and purchased a pair of Cable Solutions cables. I, too, find his comments to be spot on (and I have looked at numerous posts). Thanks, Amarg!
Re: Transparent Cables, I have to say the upgraded Plus cables really sound nice. Perhaps a 'brighter' cable would work better, but, despite not yet 'burning in', I really am enjoying the sound quality.( I was using an older Transparent Music Wave-with a white cable-that didn't have the subtlety that the new cable has).
When funds allow, I think I will try the Audioquest Rocket 88's and compare them with the Transparent's. Though a quick Google shows the length I want to be roughly the same price as the Transparents.
