    Dan,
    I am eyeing your transparent component 2m, but not quite sure if it will give me a noticable improvement to my Monster M1000CV cable. What do you think?
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    polkatese,
    Liv4fam and myself did heavy testing on the Transparent compoment cables vs M1000v.I will say this that the Monster m1000v is a good wire.Built quality isn't that great but can replay a really good picture.

    Funny you own a Pioneer Elite TV as thats exacly what we used.A Pioneer Elite dv38a was the source.

    The Transparent component cable has better edge detail and color.The level of detail is improved even over a killer cable like the M1000v's.

    Using HDTV is also more noticable.Liv4fam uses the Transparent in his system as well as owned M1000v.He is also a happy with the Transparent over the Monster.

    izafar,
    you got mail.

    Dan,
    thanks for the review. Very tempting and I would love to own it. I just spent my allowance on the much needed digicam upgrade to Canon Powershot S50, so I will continue watching this and if nobody else want it, I might be interested, if that's ok with you.

    Polkatese - :D I feel your pain, whats mind boggling is that I "demo" the wife, as musically deaf as women are(JK), and she said it was noticeable also.....so after my head spun around, and I stangely felt aroused, it was off to the races. Now I am in a formal political debate about the virtues and structure of audio cables, and how they will benefit the relationship....I WILL win. I am just kidding....OR AM I????

    I picked one pair of the 1 m Music Links from Dan last night. Mailed the check today. Early bird gets the worm!

    I'm going to have some fun auditioning the Transparents vs. Signal Cable Analog 2's that I currently have. Also these Radio Shack Fusion interconnects that my brother let me borrow kind of surprised me with the sound quality they generated. There are slight differences between the Signal Cable and Fusions, but I'm having trouble putting my finger exactly on what these differences are. They both sound good to me! I also have some $60 interconnects I picked up from my Rotel dealer that are called "Aurelle Dynamics". Haven't found any information on these anywhere. They sound good too. Once I get the transparents, it will help prove to me if I can hear a difference here. I definitely heard something in a speaker wire upgrade (monster xp to IXOS Super Gamma 7 biwire). Just having trouble picking out differences in interconnects. With the transparents, I'm taking a big jump in price (new retail) over what I currently have so we'll see.

    I definitely interested in hearing your review on this one! I have no experience with transparent interconnects, but always impressed by those network thingy, and since my point of reference is Monster and Analog Two, getting a third perspective would be great....

    waiting in great anticipation while there's still some worm left...

    PJ - Cool man, no worries here. I concur with Polkatese on that comment, let us know the demo on that Analog 2 vs Transparent.

    Polkatese - I talked to Frank about upgrading all my HT speaker wires with his stuff, he is working up a qoute for me. You know of a benefit with the Analysis bananas as oppossed to the stock ones?

    I am excited about the project :)

    WOW,
    play nice boys.Yes first come first serve.I try my best to be fair with everyone.Yes one pair of the Transparent 1m interconnects are sold and the other 1m pair just might be spoken for.

    But I still have the 1.5m Transparent interconnect.

    Adding Pic's seems to be the ticket.You guys are funny and reminding me of me.........LOL.

    Polkatese,
    I already got an e-mail on the Component 2m.If you really want the cable,I will sell it to you first.If not then I'll let it go to dorokusai.He E mailed me about it yesterday.

    I also got the 4m which would be killer for monitor out of the ref50.You can switch all your component sources threw the B&K as it is a pure pass threw.

    Let me know bud

    dorokusai,
    I didn't know you also wanted the 1m interconnects.One pair is already sold and gidrah already wants the other pair.If gidrah doesn't want them,then you can have them.If he buys the 1m pair then you can have the 1.5m pair ,they are still left.Let me know bud.

    pjdami,
    your going to be impressed with the Transparent musiclinks.They blew me away when I did a 3 way shootout with Monster M550i's and M950i's.I'd also like to read about your shootout,that would be cool.Transparent is one fantastic wire company.If you have to pay retail,man they can get way out of hand.I'm happy to see you get them at a killer deal.

    Dan,
    I tell you what, I will give up my spot for doro, since he also emailed you on this, and I might pickup your 4 meter if you still have it later. It is a bit too long for my need, don't know if it will cause problem if I have to wind the excess. In the mean time, I do have 3 sets of M1000V that serve me ok. Is price nego, Dan? ;)

    Dorokusai,
    it's all yours bud! btw, on the Signal's speaker cables, I don't think the banana analysis plus end makes any different compared to the standard offering. However, the spade to the speaker end (if you order spade) make a difference because of the binding post (LSi has a thick round binding post that only Analysis Plus spade will hug 'em completely.) That's the reason why I went with AP spade.....
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.
