Transparent's Network Boxes

Grills make a difference with my speakers also. My designer set the speakers up with the grills and said they are meant to be on as that is how he tuned them.

Even different stands make a difference. Some speakers are more critical to change than other's.

Last year I tested to see what cable designs worked best and then sent them to 7 people with various systems and some dealers to get feedback to see weather there would be synergy problems or issues.

I have listened to several systems with Transparent cables and while they are smooth I do not think the network boxes are beneficial. They might be better in some systems ,but in others they are not. I tried to design cables which had wide synergistic reliability with out clipping the freq extremes. Pretty hard thing to do.

Good luck!

I was actually able to get a network box open on a pair of transparent music wave plus. I couldn't really make out what the round, cylinder-like objects were under the hot glue. All I do know is that since then I have sold those cables and moved up to the Transparent Super level cables because they sounded damn good. They definitely have a very unique sound to them and they have incredible slam in low frequencies however I could see where this wouldn't be the right match for all systems. Bill

I cannot get past adding a network to cables as that ingest something which over rides the purity of the signal. Living in Maine I have heard their wires and am not impressed for teh price.

I've noticed a trend here and on other sites. It seems that the most consistent Transparent (and other well-known brands) bashers are people who assemble and sell cables as a hobby or home business.

Guys, let me give you a tip straight from Business 100 class: your business will not succeed on a strategy of bashing companies you consider to be competition.

I think Transparent & MIT are among the best cables out there. Of course, I own about $30K in audio equipment, so I can easily hear the difference. By the way, what is it about the network boxes from these manufacturers that lights up everyones' fire? Every cable company out there has megabuck cables in their line-up without the boxes and I don't hear nearly the same amount of chatter from audiophiles.
