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

Hi,

Another Transparent lover here. I think you'll hear a difference between Ref and Ref XL. Little lower noise floor, better bass, better resolution. But I'd agree with JAfant's point in the end...on Transparent 2 levels up or more are really special.

If you can somehow get to Opus MM2 (used) even just one cable...you'll be blown away. I'd start with the source to pre cable first...Or Ref XL Gen 5...is another path...

That calibration...as you move higher up...is what really makes these cables special...I know it's a pain to send back...sonically however no regrets
