Why Transparent Cable? for Wilsons.... options?

I don't think anything I (or most others) have to say will meet with your approval Audiofeil. Quite frankly, I have no deep seated need to seek your vindication or pass some sort of audio inquisition. As you know, I have favored MIT and Transparent over the years, but have relied extensively on my local dealers and the cable company to evaluate many brands. Some of the names include Shunyata, XLO, Nordost, Purist, Mapleshade, Cardas, Analysis Plus, Alpha Core, Kimber, Monster Sigma, Signal Cable, Synergistic research, PS Audio...alot! HT offers as good or better of a product at a very competitive price point for each level of cable they produce. They are pure sounding, dynamic and extended with terrific definition...no mysticism or alternative laws of physics are used, just high quality single crystal wire with a quality design. Reviews are available online for further illumination. Of course we could all just save some time and ask you what we should use instead.

Fine.

Use what sounds best in your system and ignore folks, much like you, who talk a good game but don't know how to play it.

Sound good?

That IS fine...that's what I'm saying anyway. All I did was offer up a possible high quality, fair priced alternative cable that many audiophiles have, and or may, find worthy of a place in their systems. Try to get some rest over the Holidays Audiofeil...turn off the lights, play some Mozart and drink your favorite beverage:)

For the record, my new system is comprised of Wilson Sophias, a BAT VK-D5 24bit CDP wt. Amperex 7308 NOS tubes, a Krell S300i, Harmonic Technologies Truth Link IC's and Pro-9 Reference spkr cables with MIT Oracle and Transparent Reference MM PC's.

Dave - I finished making my 5 foot pair of AudioQuest Type 8 cable with Furutech spades. I now hear a definite difference with the Watt/P'7 and Krell FPB's. Cleaner/sharper attacks and crisper highs. to me its not all that subtle however I know the music well. However the base line was in-wall cable up to a 50 foot run. The system is cleaner overall now. Yes worth the modest expense and hard for me now to say wire does not make a difference. Now $2K+ wire...not so sure about that.
