Transparent cables MM and MM2

Hope you guys can help me out.
Would a higher level MM1 cable be better than a lower model MM2 cable ?

For example, would a MM1 Super speaker cable or interconnect be better sounding than a MM2 PLus or Musicwave Speaker cable or interconnect ?

Just in the same way would those older Ultras be better than the current MM2 Plus or Super ?

Thanks for the help.

I had that choice and I chose cheaper MM2 ICs for my system. The MM2 is supposedly a considerable advance over the MM1 but I never had the chance to directly compare the MM2 Music Link I purchased with a MM1 higher up the chain. However I can say I am well satisfied with the cable I have, paid around $750 for a 10' pair. Undoubtedly the more expensive MM2s are better but beyond my budget.

I have mine in a mixed system, Transparent Reference [MM1] for digital, Music Link [MM2] between pre and amp and Van den Hul First Ultimate for other ICs with Cardas GRs for speaker. No master plan, just got the best I could afford at each upgrade and worked out like this. Not necessarily ideal but sounds good as is.
