The most transparent speaker cable


Gentlemen, I've been trying already for three cables in my system and none has all of the qualities I'm looking for in one. Can anyone recommend me the speaker cable which will be the most transparent with best detailing, not harsh and not muddy with the deepest bass and beautiful transients?

I've tried Revelation Audio Labs, Oyaide FF-20 V2 and Russian noname solid core AC in-wall cable. Today I'm gonna test the AR solid core but I doubt it will win. What I like in solid core cables is that they giving me the best and coherent bass I heard but at a price of the transparency. Of all three, the most transparent however was the Russian noname solid core AC in-wall cable but it lacks the bass slam and finesse.
Some recommend me to try as a speaker cable the Mundorf MConnect Metallfolie...

Well, as you can see by the myriad of responses, there really is no clear cut recommendation. All cables depend on system synergy and personal musical taste.

However, as you have already noticed, no cable can do it all either. The more transparency a cable gets, the more bass slam (weight) it loses.

Generally, you can either get more speed and resolution, or more musicality and bass weight. Just as one cannot head East and West at the same time, you must make a choice in which direction you wish to head.
Ultimately, sacrifices must be made when choosing the cable that mate best with your gear, to your ears.
