Transparent Bi-Cable


Is it as good as it's supposed to be for B&W 802D? If yes, why did they stop producting Bi-Cables?

see page 4 for their biwire cables
Hi, this I do know a few things about. It's pretty significant in the areas of lower noise, increased resolution, more organic/smoothness but with no loss of detail. The MM2 vs XL is a major change.

With MM2 you can almost step down a level or two and get the same/better performance than XL. So if you have Ref with XL you may like Ultra MM2 better.

Hope this helps a little
What cables are you using now? Lack or power and muddy bass can also be a speaker placement issue, a room issue or node. Different cables may just excite a room or placement issue in a slightly different way...but it still maybe there.

Also, are your B&W's brand new? Could be a break in thing to....

Just trying to help...

(good point on the amp taps to..)
Hi I"ve used Golden Cross and Golden reference before. Then went to Transparent Ref w/XL-major improvement in the areas you're asking about. Currently using Purist Audio Designs Dominus Ferrox (sold a bit ago) and now Purist Proteus Provectus Praesto...which is the best I've had so far.

I can't stress speaker placement and room tuning enough. I just left a friends house on saturday, he had wilson watt puppy 7s, all Cardas Golden Reference cabling...full set of ASC tube traps and a Rives Audio PARC. Killer killer good bass deep, tight, powerful with clarity...

I wish I could say the Transparent cabling will be perfect, I think it will help, and help a lot. But so would the better Cardas cabling, Purist and several others...Transparent has a try before you buy program right now. Might be worth checking it out...
