Transparent Audio XLR question for those who use their XLR interconnects


Upgrading all of my cables starting from a Modwright Oppo CD running into a Krell Evo 202 pre and then to a pair of mono Krell EVO 600's powering Revel Salon 1"s.  First i purchased a pair of Gen 6 Super speaker cables and the improvement was very noticeable all across the board.  I still had my old MIT Proline XLR interconnects and decided to try a Gen 6 Super XLR interconnect from the Oppo to the Pre and the sound went backward.  Is the pre to amp MIT XLR holding me back from the improved sound i was expecting?  Maybe i need the synergy of the other Transparent Audio XLR between the pre and amp ?  Other's who have TA what has been your experience?  Was planning on getting the GEN 6 XLR for pre to amp but having second thoughts now with the sound going backwards with the first TA XLR.  TIA!!!

Well,  no one, but your statement is not lost on me!  However, the MIT xlr's i have are for the mid 80's, before MIT used network boxes.....so perhaps wrongly, I assumed that the TA G6 would have to show some level of improvement.  I really need to find another TA XLR for the pre to amp run so i can see if it is just a synergy issue.  Hopefully i can find a used set in the near future to test this out.    

Or you can just borrow from the cable company. It’s possible that a mix n match works better than full loom. I’ve seen that. 
Also, are the new cables broken in?

Transparent states the most important cable is from source to pre, then speaker cables, then pre to amp ...but everything matters...you should get a free trial...

I can send you free XLR test samples for testing purpose. Alex/Wavetouch audio

I am a prior fan and owner of Transparent Audio MM2 Series. I can certainly vouch for Reference/Reference XL levels, as well as, OPUS. Start with the best Cable that you can afford from Source to Pre-Amp.

 

Happy Listening!
