transparent mm1 vs mm2

I concur. These are outstanding cables/cords at any level/price. Pick up some MM1, used, and enjoy the music!

Thanks for the info-Still not sure if I should go with the reference mm1 xlr or the ultra mm2 xlr?? the mm2 ultras is cheaper.

I upgraded from Ultra MM1 to Ultra MM2. It seems the music has more clarity and transparency.

Funny thing - At first I thought it was awful, but then noticed that the settings on my Marantz SA7S1 CD player were changed. I must have accidentally switched them. When I changed them back, the sound was awesome. So there is a difference. With MM1 I didn't notice the filters on my CD player were set incorrectly.

I would upgrade again, if I was given the choice today.

68pete, depends if you plan to upgrade down the line..if so, I'd get a the Ref mm1, if you don't switch out much...go for the Ultras...

Just fyi, I've reconfigured my system and need 1 less set of interconnects...I've traded in 2 sets of Ref XL MM2 RCA for one Ref MM MM2 xlr and one Opus RCA. Anyway, when the new cables show in 2 weeks from my dealer/transparent, I'll have a Ref MM2 XLR orphaned (they are the hi z solid state output setting). I'll be posting them here...

Pete-

let us know which route you go.
