what do you think of transparent reference mm1

Hi, I finally purchased my speakers. (Wilson Sophias mk 2) and am know listening w/ 12 g AR speaker cable(just so I could get placement in my listening room.
I want to get a high quality cable that will add to my system. I am powering the system with a Macintosh ma 2275 integrated amp and on the receiving end I have the Sophia's.
I have heard alot of accolades for Transparent Cables (especially from the Wilson Factory people). Please feel free to give me your insights as I would love to maximize the music i listn to.

I recently added Transparent Reference MM1 cabling all around. It is the best cabling I've had in my system ever. I've used MIT Oracle V2.1s, Analysis Plus Silver Ovals & Big Silver Ovals. Transparent's performance dwarfs the others. I own Sashas, Lamm M1.2 mono amps, and a dCS front end. This is the last cable company I'll use.

Our local Wilson dealer really knows their stuff when it comes to component matching, room placement, and the like. They always use high grade Transparent with their Wilson setups, and they always sound fabulous. I never hear any glare, edginess, or electronica, but rather a completely natural presentation where you're not short changed on frequency extension, transparency, or detail in the right perspective.

My advice is to try to get loaner cables and listen to it in your system. I had a home audition of Transparent Ultra Cables and it didn't sound good in my system. I don't think my amplifier works well with network based cables.
