How come the talk starts from Momentum then becoming Platinum Rolex?
Seriously, everything is relative! As long as one is willing to pay, its "reasonable"! Just like I thought Bro Howie is mad when he said - gonna get that Kondo M1000 Pre & Gakuon Mono amps, in turn, he is saying I am 2 screw loose in my head when I salivate for the Lange 31!

Serge/Jim,
I'm about to order my cables from Transparent, and I'm thinking of going with the following:
Jim, I see that you are using Transparent Ultra (MM2) & Ref. MM (MM2) & Powerlink MM2 cables. Serge, I see that you are using Transparent Ultra (MM2 ?) cabling. Also, did you guys have the opportunity to audition other Transparent cabling in your respective systems (past & present)? Would really appreciate hearing your impressions/opinions. Many thanks, Philip |

Philip,
I do have Transparant Ultra MM and Kubala S Emotions Speaker cables. I prefer the KS's for a small margin, but think the Reference MM2 will be better. You can't go wrong with Transparent. I also do have Reference PC's but... Philip what voltage is common in your country ? Be carefull if it's 230v/50hz Since i had hum with the Momentum's, i tried different PC's. from 1 euro till 5000 euro, but there was still a hum. I also tried a few powerconditioners but the sound was getting worse with e.g. PSaudio. Than my importer and dealer came with a very good solution. An integrated very good quality pc with a "offset-killer"box. The hum was completely gone and the sound was even better :-). So i wouldn't buy pc's before you test your Momentums. You also can ask if the Momentum's are updated on this... kr, amati |

I have always used the Ultra MM2's for speaker cable and C-1000 to amps. I did upgrade from Ultra MM2 to Reference MM2 between my MCD-1100 and C-1000. (not a huge improvement) I recently upgraded the Power cords to my amps from Reference Powerlink to Powerlink MM2x (very nice improvement) All my other power cords are still Reference. Jim |

Jim, I can relate on how you feel about your amps as I feel the same with my Pass mono blocks as well. Enjoy!

I just posted this on the Wilson forum but thought it would also be helpful to add here too:
I can only concur with the comments made so far regarding Transparent cables. As you progress up the model range you certainly do get a significant increase in performance, however my view is that ratio diminishes once you hit the Reference level (not XL). My system uses full Transparent - from the PIMM2 power isolator, PowerLink power cables through to Reference balanced interconnects and speaker cables (all MM2, with the exception of the PowerLinks being MM2X). The synergy really adds a significant amount. One point which hasn't been made so far is the excellent customer service Transparent offers. I recently sent my cables back to be re-calibrated for my new equipment and they constantly provided feedback. Very impressive indeed. Also note that Transparent offers an excellent trade up program so you always have that upgrade path for the future. Marc.
