Transparent Cables - Worth the money?

Keriadums, You do realize that Wilson now uses Transparent to link the Watt to the Puppy? Whether you like it or not if you use Wilson, you use Transparent. And yes Kohen, I think they are worth it. I currently have "super" line of cable and hope to eventually upgrade to reference through Transparents upgrade path that Jkphoto spoke of. I don't know of any other company that offers this kind of "trade up" path and I think it is great since you do not loose your initial investment in the cable.

Gmorris, I don't know if any reference systems that are not going to cost you some serious cash. I am not talking about components that are a good bang for the buck but ones that are considered state of the art. After all "reference" is supposed to be the VERY BEST available, try to put together a system with every component fitting this cattagory on a budget......

Mike, Opus??? don't tell me there is another line to upgrade too! damn......

Do they come with a free Amp on one end and speakers on the other?

Mike, good info. I just upgraded a set of "super" i.c.'s to Ultra yesterday (unfortunately not with Xl) but still sound damn good and I hope to be upgrade to REF. some day. I don't know if I will ever make the jack to justify REF XL or the Opus but if I could, I would.

yea, real funny with the negative votes, coward.

Hey A'gon. You guys should have a minimun age for posters. Apparanty somebodys child keeps giving me negative votes. Oh my !!! I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight....

Tubester,I am definately common and I don't live anywhere near California. If you want something you have to work and save for it. It's just a matter of how bad you want it. While they are expensive I don't believe the markup is any higher than other cables out there. You get what you pay for.
