Kelly is right - Transparent came about from some disgruntled MIT folk, but they also raised prices considerably. I've had great results with MIT but if you like networked cable then either should do well for you, so as John advises just find the best deal that you can on whatever. Contact membername = joeabrams for the best deal in your life on some MIT. Joe is the best & if he thinks that Transparent is the better for you then he would say so.
Just realize that there are many misunderstanding yet well meaning souls out there who are completely/adamently against any networked cable, & will laugh in your face for even considering the idea. I used to be one of them until I tried some MIT, then I eventually upgraded to their latest version of my same speaker cable & became even more satisfied. The audio signals do *not* travel *through* the networks, which are paralleled similar to a Zoebel network, only more elaborately designed & refined.
