Bal. Cables for Wadia S7i CD player?

Some equipment sounds better balanced...there are a few where (possibly because the balanced is not true balanced)...the SE sounds similar or better.

You've got a great CD player...great. If you're using Wadia direct to amp...if you can avoid it, dont skimp here. Wadia is a very natural but also very precise sound, and so is Bryston as you already know. Getting the right cables could be the difference between magic and stiff/sterile.

I like Transparent Reference cables...older, second pre-MM1 are great imho. Depends on your taste of course. The opposite of these at a comparble quality level would probably be Valhalla. My gut tells me balanced given the Bryston and even the Wadia. Good luck. One man's opinion.

I am running a Wadia GNSC player and may have a set of cables if you want to pm. These cables will eat many for lunch.Take care Dennis

Lloydlee:
I was looking into Transparent Super and Ultra. My only hesitation came when I read that the "Network" used does wonders for the low frequencies at a cost to the highs. My highs (hearing) are rolling off as I get older. Whats your opinion the Transparent's effect on the high freq's. I tend to like detail over warmth.
tnx...2bz.

Hi 2bz...i am a big, big TA fan...if you like detail over warmth and are looking at Super or Ultra...i think you might honestly prefer to try a few other cable options in addition to TA. Particularly, if a truly illuminated treble is important for you (as with all of us as we get older) given your own hearing.

I would have to give it some thought, but i feel like i have heard other cables in comparison which had more treble clarity...the question is can i remember the ones in the price range. I could easily name Valhalla, but that is more expensive.

By all means, try the TA Super and Ultra (I prefer older Ref btw)...but perhaps Valhalla second-hand, might offer more articulated highs than Ultra.
