Transparent Audio Gen4 vs Gen5

I'm looking to buy both IC and speaker cables from TA considering Ultra MM2 and Super Gen5. Anybody compare them?

Based on that, Super Gen 5 "should be better" than Ultra MM2. Have not tried the 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...
