Transparent vs Synergistic Research?

I am looking to recable my system. I have...

Ayre V-3 amp
Krell Showcase Pre/Pro
Vandersteen 2Ce Speakers (will upgrade to Quattros)
Arcam DV88

After going through about 10-15 cable lines I was ready to buy Transparent. However, I heard so many good things about Synergistic that I am reconsidering. I would love to hear opinions from those individuals who have heard Transparent and Synergistic on which might be better for my setup. I'd also like to hear why you think it would be better. Thanks for any/all help. I am trying to get cables to audition. Please advise.

For what is worth Transparent are consistent in their "levels" of cables and simply update the generation.

I run Transparent Ultra Generation 6 analogs for Interconnects and speaker runs. Love the the stuff. When I went from Super Gen 5 to Ultra Gen 6 I was truly blow away by the difference - which I am glad there is because they are not cheap but the audible difference is easy to hear,

Been a customer since 97’ and I can highly recommend them.

Yep I'm still a Transparent customer too and satisfied although the Kimber KCAG is still on my phone stage.   However I am updating my system and in evaluating the Vimberg Tonda Kubala Sosna has been brought to my attention but I have no experience at all.  Now that this post has a new life what are a few speaker cables people are hot on?

Thank You for the TA GEN6 update. This series is very new. Good to see one of the 1st customer's review.  I have yet to demo the GEN5 series.

 

Happy Listening!
