I do believe transparent are probably well made cables, but they are also the most overpriced piece of equipment that I have ever heard of ($10+k a foot?) So about my earlier Transparent comment, here is the original page of someone opening it up: http://www.faktiskt.se/modules.php?n...ewtopic&t=2953

Midway down this page, there is a translation: http://www.dansdata.com/danletters119.htm

I must admit, I am a skeptic for a lot of things audio, but it's not like I'm some luddite with a boombox. I can tell the difference between my NAD electronics and Rotel's 1070 series. And I know my Acoustic Energy Aegis one's don't hold a candle to anything by Vienna Acoustics. A good system tweak should work on my system as well as on any more expensive system (perhaps more so, since I have much further to climb to perfection).

I do realize that we will probably never see eye to eye on this, the old saying about arguing on the internet and special olympics, but as a student of the science of audio no one can take away how something sounds to you, they are your experiences, but you at least owe it to yourself to try to understand why something happens.
