transparent mm1 vs mm2

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.

Its been a while since I started this thread. I have up grade my speaker cables from transparent ultra XL to transparent reference mm2 and wow big changes for the better. I then a little later upgrade my xlr interconnects, was using a Time Portal reference xlr from the disc. player to the pre pro and a transparent xlr ultra mm1 from the pre pro to the amp. Trade the ultra in on a reference mm2 xlr. Put that between the disc player and pre pro and moved the Time Portal down between the pre pro and amp. The change was not as big as from the speaker cable change. the base was much better, the inner detail was just slightly better but not as musical-a slight loss(was hoping for much more)The xlr mm2 only has about 45hours on it now will give it some more time. Thanks all

Thanks! Pete.

after 200 hrs you will begin to notice the difference.

Hi all, just purchased new transparent interconnects and used mm1 speaker cable. Are there any burn in time with the new interconnects, because at first they sounded Great then a couple of days later lousy. Now it seams it's comming back again, what's up?
