Discovery cables....

I could not disagree more with Reb1208's comments. I heard none of what he describes in either my system, or in a friend's system (that is much more revealing than mine).

I do have other cables on hand that were shown to have a "unrefined quality in the lower treble-upper" only when compared to the Essence. The Essence does not suffer that particular flaw at all.

The transient response of the Essence is also superb as well. In fact, one of the things that first struck me when switching to the Essence its superb handling of the leading edge of transients.

I totally agree with Kennyb's comments. The Essence is just superb in everyway. I think what Reb1208 discovered for the first time is actually how his system really sounds.

How are Discovery Cables compared to Transparent ?

Both my Triplanar VII and my Durand Talea tonearms are wired with Discovery. World-class tonearms with world-class wiring.

I really like the sound of Discovery Cables especially the Plus Four and The Essence. The Plus Four tonearm cables is God send. (Yes there is Kondo LPZ tonearm which is wonderful but it cost $5300) I think Discovery Cables is excellent for its neutrality without sound clinical nor hifi-ish. The price is right and the sound is just natural.
