Hi everyone...i know this thread has been inactive for years, but sometimes people read these to learn about diff people's experiences (i certainly do)...so here goes.
i have Transparent Ref throughout my system except my digital cable...i came across an inexpensive Cardas Neutral Ref and had been using it...until i found the opportunity to compare s/hand Transparent Ref digital cable to s/hand Valhalla digital cable.
My system is Wilson X1/Grand Slamms, CJ ACT 2, Gryphon Antileon and Zanden DAC with blu-ray transport. (i'm waiting for the server/transport wars to settle down before i get reference transport/server).
The Transp Ref was the one i was expecting to buy...and my system "fell asleep" with it in. Better detail, much, much better bass and overall very much the characteric sound of Transp Ref which i have used throughout my system. but the balance of the system tipped over and literally went to sleep.
i was at a loss until the shop manager found a s/hand valhalla. Snap! the system life came back with better detail, etc. Yes the bass on transp is better...but the life of the valhalla came back in my system...that is purely down to synergy imho.
now since i have 3 different sellers of valhalla digital cables, i just need to pick the best cable/price. hope that helps as one person's experience! enjoy the music!
