I suggest next time you include Transparent Cables in your reviews. The Reference level is cheaper than the Valhallas and way more balanced throughout the audio spectrum.
I would be interested in knowing what are the names of current high-end transports . My current old Wadia cd transport from 1997 has finally stopped working (tray mechanism).
@ mcduman I don't know, but attack is also dependent on other components. Yet, I used to have Nordost upper end cables and that company touts them as being close to the speed of light. Yet when I switched to Transparent Reference MM2, the Transparent attack was way better. Percussion, drums...
I've never found the current MM 2 generation of Reference cables to be rolled off and lacking attack on my system. I am currently using a Bright Star small shelf under the Network boxes. Perhaps I will try them on top of the Networks.
Transparent company culture and ethics would lead me to believe that they try whenever possible to give their wire business/jobs to local friends and neighbors.
Looks like a great wire company if they do use them. Perhaps, the best way to find out is to call Transparent directly and see if they are willing to share .
Transparent is an American company well known for the quality of their cables and company culture. I am sure they would want to support American workers/jobs whenever possible.
I am a big fan of Transparent Cable and currently use Ultra's throughout my system
I have always wondered what company makes the wires for Transparent ? I hope they do not import them from out of the country. There is nothing in their website that indicates who makes the wires for them...
