Anyone who has compared these two? I have the Columbia, but have not heard the Truthlink. My main interest is the difference in the degree of transparency.

I will somewhat agree with Duster and PAR. The Truthlink falls on the warm side of neutral, but its musicality wins the day for me. Still offers plenty of presence with the better recordings and a tad of forgiveness for the lesser. Use it today in the run from my SUT to phono pre. Can't help you in comparison to the AQ cable.
The Harmonic Technology Truth-Link is not a transparent sounding design, but it's a very musical sounding interconnect cable, IME.
Agreed with Duster. I used Truthlink for years very happily. It is warm and engaging with a somewhat restrained treble compared to the more neutral HT Magic series.
As I recall, the treble was indeed subdued, but it also produced a distinct sounding lower and middle treble energy that nicely enhanced the presentation of cymbals and upper harmonic content in general. At the time, I could have lived with the Truth-Link if the bass sounded more linear, since the gestalt of the bottom end was a bit too colored and inarticulated, IME. This matter may have been component or system sensitive, but I discovered other folk's reports which also mentioned the same issue with the Truth-Links bass characteristics. That said, the Truth-Link has featured different rca connectors during its production, so another build version might sound better than what I experienced.
