Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length


Anyone heard of these? A pair came with an Anthem P5 I just purchased. Another question I have, they’re too long and I hate to make them shorter. Could I coil them so I don’t have to cut them? Otherwise, I can’t use them. They will replace Audioquest Type II cables.

I know this is an old thread that I started but haven't really taken an inventory of everything in my system until now. Heck, I might have missed an item or two but thought I'd share what I can see/find in the system. I definitely CAN hear a difference in cables so anyone saying higher end cables is like snake oil obviously either doesn't have sharp enough ears to hear the difference or, they haven't tried higher end cables or.... Their system isn't capable of taking advantage of the difference. It's understood a system only sounds as good as it's weakest ling in the chain. So without further adieu, here is my inventory:

@oldschool,
Everything you change will make a difference. Whether it is positive change, or worth it monetarily, is the rub.
I notice you have a lot of AQ cables. Is there any reason why you are using the Transparent?

The Transparent came with the Anthem P5 as I purchased it used. Got a heck of a deal since the Transparent Music Wave cables were $1,700 new. AQ cables are about as good as any when you get higher up the food chain.
Oldschool, If I were you, I would put on a set of AQ cables.
I tried the Transparent, and spent way too much on having them upgraded to the latest iteration. They were good, but the AQ really seem more alive, and these are a pair of old Rockefeller cables I bought on the cheap.
I had John Rutan make a set of true biwire GO-4, but haven't installed them yet as I'm letting my new amps settle in.

gdnrbob, It’s a good thing you aren’t me as I’m very happy with my current set-up. I assure you, if I ever decide to upgrade from these, which I doubt can be done under a couple large ones, I’ll let you know so you can buy them from me for a song.
All kidding aside, what I have is far batter than what I ever thought I'd ever have. Patience, the used audio price depression, and some luck being looking at the right places at the right time, has been very good to me.
Yes this HT hobby is a sickness if you let it get away from you. It’s like race cars, performance increase is an exponential equation of cost. Sometimes you gotta spend dead presidents on other toys. In my case, custom choppers and women while I still can!
