Transparent Audio Gen4 vs Gen5

I've directly compared Opus mm2 to Opus Gen 5. Gen 5 is simply better. That said, certified used MM2, at maybe a higher level may serve you very well also.

Ultra MM2 is a VERY nice cable...

These cables make a similar impact as component upgrades..sometimes bigger. Cable detractors won't like this statement...but I've heard it, stand by it, and your mileage may vary...

ps, is't a gen 4, before it was called mm2. before that mm...they have confusing naming at times...your gen 4 vs gen 5 is much cleaner !

Yes you can combine. Sounds like the Ref Gen 5 wasn't broken in just yet...that air and extension is the last thing to change...good luck to you

So in my experience gen 5 was totally superior vs mm2. Especially in that opens and palpability thing. I wonder if Dave b had a tuning or breakin issue...something seems amiss here.

Dave b, not doubting what you heard...just I had a very different experience.

Could be ! and nothing wrong with being a MIT guy !! ...like ford or chevy some like one and some like the other...and my wife would say it's just wire what's wrong with you 2 :-)

I'm very smitten with gen 5...have a full loom now..vs my prior mm2 full loom...
