Transparent cables are extremely, well, transparent. I own Transparent. Only the highest levels within the Transparent lines is tuned to specific components. They are outstanding in systems where you want the wires to get out of the way. What are your components? If your components are only just adequate, then they can reveal things best covered up. I highly recommend them for audiophile systems.
On the other hand Cardas wires are built to be more forgiving at the low end and more transparent and detailed at the high end. So, typically these will be a great match for less than top of the line audiophile components.
