CABLE SURVEY

[f1eng]

The Wave 8ft pair is listed on their store for $220US.  Music Wave is $440US for a 8ft pair.

After these 2 models the price starts getting crazy.

Ok, I give in - all the Transparent speaker cables that I'd seen/heard were at the crazy prices you mention - I didn't know that they offered bargain basement cables as well

The question is: can anyone double blind between the affordable and crazy priced versions? 

I haven't tried any Transparent cables but MIT, from which the Transparent was spawned by an ex-distributor I believe, and Goldmund have cables with filters. They were the only cables sounding different to the normal cables, which were all the same to me, regardless of price. They sounded similar to each other but not exactly the same. The MIT, which I borrowed had a single big filter box, the Goldmund ones had different boxes at each end, one designed for speaker and one for amp output. I used these for some years with a Spectral amp and Sonus Faber Extremas. When I upgraded to Goldmund amps and speakers the circuitry of the filter boxes was integrated into the amp output and crossover so the boxes were removed (they attach to the cable itself via a massive coaxial connector) and the amp and speakers have the special coaxial connectors directly on them alongside standard type connectors for non-Goldmund cable.
The filter networks on the Goldmund interconnects are built into a slightly over-size connector at one end FWIW.
I definitely prefer the cables with filters to all normal cables.

DNM supply filters one model of which can be added in parallel with normal speaker cables. http://www.dnm.co.uk/acatalog/HFTNs.html
