Transparent Cable Upgrade?

I own Transparent Music lInk Plus through out the system. I am considering upgrading to the Reference line. Worth the cost? Your experience?

Next, I have Nordost Frey phono cable. The only non Transparent cable. I chose this cable with my VPI classic since the TT manufactures its table with Nordost Vahlia cable. Wondering if I should sell the Frey and look at Transparent to keep the system uniformed. I find Nordost a bit bright.

Finally, perhaps not the forum to post, but considering converting the TT from RCA to Balanced. Worth it?

Thank you

Thank You for re-viving this thread. I,too, would like to demo the Gen5 Series in comparison to the MM2 (super) Series.
Happy Listening!

Hi @jafant  did you start out with the super series right away or did you upgrade from the music wave or plus? Wondering what the differences are besides the usual 'more refinement, blacker background' observations. There are sparse information and reviews online about differences between Transparents line.

I had an opportunity to demo the Music wave / Music wave plus and Super in succession.  To my ears, the Super bettered the models below.
Yes, it is more refined, better decay and instrument separation. Blacker backgrounds. Hope this is helpful.

Happy Listening!
