Hooked up the Ultra's MM2 I.C. to go with the speaker wire and let the system run for a hour, sat down and took a listen. 1st thing that I noticed was how the jazz group sounded so coherent, the inter play between them and the feel of what they were doing was much more present. Tone, color and the balance of it all, no highlighting of certain notes for instance. The stand up bass was detailed and really had a wood body connect to it, the pull of the strings you could feel it.
Really was like listen to the recording all over again. The piano had such a right tone to it, you could feel the fingering going across the keys and the little timing, the space between the strikes. Really was impressive.
I might sum it up like this, other cable give you the sound of each instrument, dynamics, and detail kind of thrown at you, the Ultra MM2 give you tone, color, dynamics along with a balance, a clarity, with a live sound of a group playing together instead of individual sounds and the feel of how the group was playing together as a whole, I guess the word would be the arrangement of the music comes across much more, how each instrument plays off the other with the tones blending and pulling together as a whole with details of each.
It really is a whole bunch of small things that really add up, word comes to mind is the feel, soul of humans playing. There is meat to the bones without being colored, or weighty towards the lower mids and bass. The highs are very airy, I think these are going to image well as they break in more, you can feel it already. The bottom end is really, really good, dynamic and tight.
Not sure how they will improve as time marches on, but right now these are so enjoyable and really as taken listening to music to another level. This recording was a CD from the early 90's Harry Connick's Lofty's Roach Souffle, which sounded good, but now sounds like it was a audiophile recordings, the glare, grayness is gone, color and tone replaced it. Almost like phase errors are gone, cannot put it into words, there is a wholeness now.This was a jaw dropper for me, I thought they sound good, but this is a different experience all together, and my dealer says give them 100 hours and everything you like now will only improve, he said there will be no going back now.
Nothing bad about my other cables, but these are on a different level, they do much more than any I've owned.Was money well spent, I am glad I decided on making the purchase and I was back and forth on chasing the old audiophile improvement when something already sounded good. By the way who says the Quads cannot do dynamics, mine rebuilds can and now I am really hearing it.
So much talk of cables don't make a difference or the cables with boxes are over priced, or do more damage than they do well, are all wrong.
If you enjoy music the Transparent cables will increase the enjoyment more so than changing out equipment. These cables are special and I've owned many of the top brands over 30 years of this hobby.
