transparent cables

With Transparent Cable releasing the series 5 cables. It has made the mm2 more affordable for some of us. What i would like to know is it worth it to go from Reference level mm2 to Reference XL mm2? Or would it be better to wait until i can jump to the series 5. How big is the change from Reference mm2 to Reference XL mm2 one level up.
Thanks Pete

hello 68Pete-

Transparent lover here. While, I have not had the listening pleasure of the newest Gen 5 series, I have had many sessions w/ the Reference, Ref XL, and OPUS lines.

Honestly, there is not any difference between the Reference and Ref XL. Things get very sweet between the REF and OPUS.
I suggest to anyone, if you are in the market for this level of performance, buy the OPUS and never consider another update/upgrade. Keep me posted & Happy Listening! JA

Yes, Poon-

I can confirm that as one moves up the Transparent chain, you will be rewarded. Things go beyond all expectations w/ the OPUS cabling. It will cost you for sure, most important, you will never have any need to change out cabling!

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
