Upgraded to some Einstein CHORD cables. While the Einstein has a touch more refinement the Transparent is not shamed one bit.
I have a couple more DIY cables on the way so the Transparent has to go.
This is a fantastic cable for the money. Adds easily noticeable weight to the low end frequency response. Just tightens up the bass real nice. Fantastic extension in the highs as well.
Looking for 160$ shipped CONUS. On audiogon scale, the cable is a solid 8/10.
