Audioquest or Transparent?

15 year old thread.

Lots of cables watch up to Transparent below the Reference line at better prices. Once you get into the Reference line and up It changes in Transparent favor. But the price can be a major draw back.

Audioquest or transparent, that's a tough one.  Both are very cheap to some, and very expensive to others.  
Transparent cables:  the name alone does not fit the products.  Their cables are unarguably NOT transparent.  That alone tells you by how much they do not tell the truth entirely.
Audioquest Cables on the other hand may not be the most believable, but at least they are very gentle, because their philosophy is all about "causing less harm".  That counts for something.
just a thought.

I used to own the Transparent Super MM2 IC & SP in a B&W, Rotel, Sony ES set-up.  On a serious tip- I have had the pure listening pleasure of auditioning the Transparent Reference XL and OPUS in an ARC/Bryston/
Wilson Sasha/Sophia system of recent. 

On the flipside, as a Thiel Loudspeaker fan and owner, I have only heard Audioquest cabling/cords and thoroughly enjoyed the music.  System dependent? Yes, I think so.  Happy Listening!

2nd note;

the ARC/Bryston/ Transparent/Wilson Audio set-up was nothing less than outstanding!  Happy Listening!
