Why Transparent Cable? for Wilsons.... options?

I like the Transparent stuff, and the company - and they have close working relationship with Dave Wilson, and use Wilson speakers in their listening studio. So it's not suprising that there's a good synergy there.

My experience with Transparent is that they're very consistent in the sound across their product line . . . that is, as you pay more money, you get very similar sound, but more refined. The flip side is that their less-expensive cables (I didn't say "cheaper") still IMO sound really nice.

If you're happy with the sound, and you're still a bit strapped from the speaker purchase . . . why not keep the cables you have for awhile? Transparent has a great upgrade program, where they'll apply a huge percentage of the original price for newer/fancier stuff when you want to make a change.

Ditto on Transparent voicing with Wilson and vice-versa. Their upgrade program deserves applause. Save your allowance and stay with Transparent. Tara works extremely well with Wilson, but you just don't see their better cables come up very often. There IS a pair of Omega listed right now... I submit they would be your last pair of speaker cables. Even if you moved up the Wilson line. That should appeal to your sense of high value/performance per dollar spent.

Actually, you should upgrade all the way to the Transparent Reference for those speakers. Look for a good deal on a used pair. The ultra would be fine to but the Reference is better.

I have B&W speakers but I use Reference cables for every connection in my system and it is absolutely worth every penny.

I thought $1000 was too much for a pair of cables as a matter of principle--before I tried the better Transparent stuff. You have to think of every cable in your system as a component in front of your speakers--especially the digital cable if you use one. It will probably be a major improvement.

What version of super do you have?

Xl, MM1 or MM2

If you are at XL then ultram MM2 will be a very nice upgrade.

My Ultra costs me almost as much as the ML Alscents they are connected to but nothing else floated my boat as much as the Transparent.

Rapogee - Not to steal your thread but to add to it. I have just purchased a "like new" pair of WP7's to go with Krell 350MCX mono's. I had prewired in-wall using OFC 12AWG double - which I think is equivalant to 10AWG. Sound is amazing but its all new. I have not been a proponent of high priced wire but I want to try without wasting money. I am thinkig of a single run (30feet,20feet) of Vampire wire ST-II which is 10AWG Continuous Cast Copper at $12.90pf. Could be an alternative. Or wonder if any of this will realy make a "real" difference.....
