Audioquest or Transparent?

Here is my curent system: YBA 1 preamp, YBA 2HCDT amp with JMlab MINI utopia speaker. And I have the choice of Audioquest above the caldera and Transparent above the ultra for speaker cable. I want to have the most musical cable and to be able to hear all the micro details. And the cable that suits the most my system. And don't tell me about other cable brand as I only want one of those two brand.

I used to own the Transparent Super MM2 IC & SP in a B&W, Rotel, Sony ES set-up.  On a serious tip- I have had the pure listening pleasure of auditioning the Transparent Reference XL and OPUS in an ARC/Bryston/
Wilson Sasha/Sophia system of recent. 

On the flipside, as a Thiel Loudspeaker fan and owner, I have only heard Audioquest cabling/cords and thoroughly enjoyed the music.  System dependent? Yes, I think so.  Happy Listening!

2nd note;

the ARC/Bryston/ Transparent/Wilson Audio set-up was nothing less than outstanding!  Happy Listening!

Jafant I totally agree it's system dependent, I learn that good cables if they match you will get what you paid for, cheap cables sometimes if they match, will give you nice music as well.We really get what we paid for.
