I'm using Transparent Super speaker cables with my Sopra 3's. When I first demo'ed them in my system, I was blown away by the improvement over my old Transparent Plus cables. I never thought such an improvement was possible with just cables. The difference was obvious in the first 20 seconds of listening.
I also demo'ed the Transparent Ultra's but I didn't find enough of a improvement over the Super's to justify spending twice the money. I ended up buying the Super's. |

Focal rep at store demo last month stated that they were NOT using Transparent (currently). I’m racking my brain to remember what he said they were using but I specifically asked if they were using Transparent and he replied, “no, we use...” |

I recently heard a friend Focal Maestro's and they sounded good with Shunyata Anaconda but even better with the MIT cable he had on hand. Dont remember which MIT they were but I think about $10-12k/pr.
