Do Transparant Cables have a sonic sig?

Lev335, I am in a similar situation. I have switched my Transparent Super interconnects out for Harmonic Technology Truthlinks (great fit and finish). I found them a better match with my tube gear, plus the warm signature of the copper Truthlinks took the bite out of my NHT VT-1.2's (punishingly bright at times). Now I am seriously considering switching out my Super Bicable XL speaker cables as well.

I have aragon, EAD CD, Paradigm Studio 80 combo. Can seem hot and forward at times. EAD is an improvement over my old Marantz CD63. Using Kimber for now. Suggestions? I want a little more bloom and a softer lower treble. Thanks.

Dave, you should try out the Harmonic Technology Truthlinks. I've found their tone to be warm and laid back, while still letting a 6922/KT90 tube amp complement give me the "forward" midrange with good bass control that I was looking for. If the copper Truthlinks seem too warm, the silver Pro-Silway Mk II's sound great. They seemed very transperent to my ear.

As stated, all cables have a sonic signature. What you would like to find is cables with the least coloration, the "open window" effect. I also agree that when testing cables stay consistant throughout the system. I have been using Transparent Audio Super IC's and speaker cable. No more. I recently listened to silver IC's from Vantage Audio and I am switching. When I put them in the "window opened". I also have a gold IC from Vantage that is currently under investigation. I suggest you give them a try (www.vantageaudio.com). Good Luck, Doug

I am using the Transparent Ultra XL (balanced) between my VT100 MKII and LS25 with spectacular results. I do not find these cables "dark". Instead, I would characterize them as being neutral, dead quiet and dynamic, with exellent extension in the mid and low bass. The treble is natural and certainly, not "rolled-off" in my system (I have ribbon tweeters, MG 3.5/R)
