Transparent Home Audio Cables

Transparent Audio's passion for music started with three founders pouring their hearts into performing music, tuning their ears listening to live music, and constantly expanding their understanding of great music and film performance elements. With a singular goal to reproduce the best performances in homes, 30 years ago a journey commenced. Founded solidly in electrical transfer knowledge and practices, Transparent's goal remains to convey delicate music and film signals between audio video components while reproducing the essence of great live performances. One by one, craftspeople, artists, musicians, and business professionals were chosen to create a company that continues in this quest. The wonder of what we do is connecting great audio and video systems capable of recreating a space, time, and place whether it happened 50 years ago or yesterday. Everyday we strive to bring you closer to the music, truer to the image.

The Wave Speaker Cable and The Link interconnect

After experiencing this demo for myself, I can see why Transparent encourages its dealers to present its products in this context. Anyone can hear the difference; it’s not esoteric, but simply a cost-effective way of getting more enjoyment out of a music system. More important, however, is that this demo allows the entry-level audiophile an opportunity to hear for himself the value of specialty cables.

MusicLink Reference interconnects and MusicWave Reference Speaker Cables

I think the best way to describe how the Transparent References sound is to say that - in certain key respects - it is to other cables what the Clearaudio Accurate cartridge is to other cartridges. The Reference cables and interconnects remove a layer of background noise that fills the blanks between the notes and instruments with a fine, persistent grain that is only audible as grain in comparison to the sound of the Reference.

Transparent’s MM2 Technology Cables

Some say hindsight is 20/20. And maybe they're right when it comes to appraising the usefulness of consumer electronics. It's certainly a lot easier to look back and evaluate this year's new products than it is to project what 2009 products will impact customer installers. There were a lot of good products introduced in 2008 at shows like CES, EHX and CEDIA, but it's nearly impossible to see them all. CE Pro, however, was able to see a sizable portion of the products by attending shows, meeting with companies or visiting installers in the field. The following are the best products we either reviewed or had demoed to us throughout the year.
