I have heard a few cables,

1) Taralabs
2) Nordos
3) MIT
4) Transparent
5) Shunyata Research

What is the best choice among these.Till now I like the Transparents.

WHY do you like the Transparents? And more important, what does your system consist of? And what kind of listening do you do most?

You can't expect a meaningful response when your question is so abstract.
OK, then I'd stick with the Transparent if I were you. ESPECIALLY until you've heard them with the JM speakers -- it should be a great combo. The only others you might like just a little better (meaning they might be a little more neutral) would be Purist Audio Dominus ($$$$) or Venustas ($$) but you should try before you buy -- use the Cable Company's audition service.
Fiddler, I know, I saw those pics a couple of years ago. More "humiliating" than "illuminating" I'd say!!

One can only hope they've gotten their act together since then. Nevertheless, many people who are (financially) in the Purist-V.Dynamics-Siltech-MIT Oracle league swear by the top of the line Transparents. I've not heard them in my current system.

On the other hand, I still use my old MIT 330s for secondary purposes sometimes and they're really good.
Pabelson, you're quite right. That's why I always ask a lot of questions first. I want to know all there is to know about a product's design and specs. If it makes my audition list, then I listen.
