the only way to compare these cables is in your own rig. Any other rig synergises differently; the reactance charactaristics of your equipment & how they interact with the cabling is different for each & every rig out there, so the sonic signature is never the same for any two systems. The Resolution Reference MKII is a nice cable at my house, but I liked the Designer Reference-X even better.
My Synergistic dealer likes the Looking Glass & Kaleidoscope cables too, but he rants about the Luminesence as being strictly a band-aid cable for problem rigs. I don't know about that, but I do know that the Looking Glass worked a bit better for me than the Kaleidoscope. The Resolution Reference was of course better than Looking Glass in some respects; I do recall noticing improved bass authority with the Res Ref. I'm sure there were some other differences, but anymore I don't recall what they were.
If you'd like to compare the makeup of my rig to your own, just click on my username & scroll down the bio until you see the system components list.
This is the best that I can answer your question.
