After installing some new Transparent Gen 5 Plus cabling in my system, I can’t help but smile and laugh at the contortions and mental gymnastics many audiophiles put themselves through, attempting to find that one special way to connect their components that will leave all the others in the dust. The latest stuff from Transparent Audio is just soooo right sounding that it’s just sick, compared to anything else I’ve ever heard or owned. Just crazy great, they allow music to flow as if it were restored back to before the recording chain degraded it. Mind bogglingly musical is all I can say...just so far beyond all the other wires available. IMNSHO
The Science of Cables
It seems to me that there is too little scientific, objective evidence for why cables sound the way they do. When I see discussions on cables, physical attributes are discussed; things like shielding, gauge, material, geometry, etc. and rarely are things like resistance, impedance, inductance, capacitance, etc. Why is this? Why aren’t cables discussed in terms of physical measurements very often?
Seems to me like that would increase the customer base. I know several “objectivist” that won’t accept any of your claims unless you have measurements and blind tests. If there were measurements that correlated to what you hear, I think more people would be interested in cables.
I know cables are often system dependent but there are still many generalizations that can be made.
