Transparent users... Question

I may be upgrading cable soon, actually I know I am upgrading the speaker wire to Ultra (w/MM) but my interconnect between pre and amp (LS15 and Proceed hpa2) is currently balanced Ultra (w/XL. Would it be worth it to go for Ref single ended or shoot for the Ultra MM balanced? Thanks for any advice.

I will say that after wiring everything with Ultra MM the change was nothing short of amazing.

The gear you have works best in balanced mode. I was faced with your choice, and after audition preferred the Ultra MM Balanced over the Reference single-ended. I also have some Reference Balanced in my system, and the sonic difference between Ultra Balanced and Reference Balanced is quite substantial. It almost makes the outrageous cost bearable! ;-)

Thanks Rex... NICE SYSTEM! I have ordered the Ultra (MM) bi-wire for now and will hold on to the Balanced Ultra (XL) until I can swing the upgrade to balanced ref. Hopefully the cable makes it here for the weekend!

Thanks again for everyones advice.

Sweet! Nice work.

I want to see Didactically System listed with pictures so we can see what his/her preference to an overall system is not just a link to quotes.

Cytocyle, also an awsome looking system! Love those speakers, I am sure they sound awesome with your setup. The dog in the center looking straight back at me cracked me up.
