I use Transparent for all of my interconnects, speaker cables and all but my amp power cord. I find them exactly that, transparent, dynamic, low noise. I have tried: Cardas (all upper tier), DHLabs, WireWorld, Harmonix, Straight Wire, Nordost (Odin 2 bested Transparent… but at $17K they should have)… and I am sure a couple more.
Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000
I’ve had great success going with quality (and costly) mains power cables in the main system. In my experience power cords bring the most significant difference in comparison to interconnects and speaker cables. However, I have not really tried the best interconnects out there.
I currently have the Wireworld Silver Eclipse 8 XLR and an Acrolink 8N-A2080III Evo XLR in the system. Both sound excellent although different in their presentation. I’m wondering if the top-of-the-line WW Platinum Eclipse 8 XLR or Acrolink Mexcel DA6300IV XLR will bring a noticeable or worthwhile improvement to the sound.
Any experiences would be appreciated.

Have owned a audio store for a decade I can say these ultra expensive $2500+ interconnects ,power cords, speaker cables ,digital yes maybe a few % points better then a $1500 interconnects . is paying double for say 3% worth it , in truth if your $$ pockets are very deep then yes ,if not save it for maybe a better front end . |
I tired some others but the Cardas Clear Beyond XLRs on my system are great. Here's a pair very nicely priced. Hijiri Million Kiwami XLR cables are also great so I have been told but I have not heard them. You wanted over 3K! |
