Like Bigamp, I'm a Tranpsarent Audio convert. I run Reference cabling throughout, and hope to upgrade to XLMM2 sometime soon. I've owned JPS Superconductors, Analysis Plus Big Silvers, MIT Oracle V2.1, and a number of others. Transparent is the only company that'll mate your cables to your gear - once you get to Reference level. No other company that I know about does that. And you can trade your cables in against any upgrades you wanna make. My kinda company.
At the time of their respective arrivals, I loved them. All of them. They all seamed to be an upgrade (I bought the best for what I could afford each time). But once the left level of cables came in, it was "revolutionary". How could I have ever lived without this cable, right? It's been like that all the way up to TA Reference. I'm here to stay because they are a true syngergistic match for my Sashas and Lamm M1.2s.
As it is with anything, tastes vary and, therefore, opinions vary. There is no best. We each operate out of our own perspectives and paradigms. And as varied as there are people, is as varied as there are opinions. And when you add to that the many manifestations of systems out there, it becomes impossible to say what cable will desamate another without testing various cables in the very same system. Synergy is everything. I'm glad you're enamored with your cables. That is always the goal when spending money, at least in this hobby. That tells me it was money well spent. What equipment are your cables tying together? Until I try this cable, which is not in the foreseeable future - as I'm currently on honeymoon with TA - I'm not sure anyone can declare with any measure of certainty if that statement be true. Happy Listening?
