Transparent interconnect Cable, Super versus ultra


Anybody ever compare these two transparent interconnectS?

I was thinking of upgrading from super to ultra which is about twice the price. Being used to connect a preamplifier line stage to an amplifier.

Yes, the Ultra is worth the upgrade. Go for it!

 

Happy Listening!

Ghdprentice,

Notice you don’t use ultra in your home theater set up.

Thanks for info. If I bought ultra I would use a 10 foot length between a preamp, cj gat2 and macintosh 600 watt monos, amp is connected to b&w 802 d3’s with transparent Super CableS. Interested In Any thoughts on this?

You made interesting comments about you’re older components being too bright. Would Those components have been a good mix with ultra?

I do not use Transparent in my home theater. That is a whole different thing. It does not require the resolution of my audio system. They would not be worth it to me.

I think my preamp to amp run is around 16’.

My older components would not sound good with Ultra, I drove very revealing ribbon speakers with solid state gear. Transparent’s Schlick is transparency… passing on exactly what it gets…. You get no tuning. Today, I want to hear my components… there is nothing harsh or trebly about them. 
 

Comparing them to Cardas which is always warm an calming… the lower the cost Cardas the more calming. Hence, why they are so popular… they cover up deficiencies. Transparent does not. Each level up is the same only lower noice floor, better dynamics, and bass.

Anyone know if Transparent has a good trade in policy? About to try out a Super phono cable may want to compare Ultra..

They have a trade in policy. But when I have inquired the discount was so low, I just chose to keep them for my secondary systems or experimenting. I have not inquired about adjacent models.
