ROY HALEE
Producer for Paul Simon and numerous classical recording projects. Roy chose Reference XL cables with MM2 Technology for his studio.
“How do you all do it? I'm amazed at how good these new cables sound. I thought my previous cables were great but these are over the top. Low
level detail, dynamics, and effortless reproduction are just fabulous. I hate to say it but my other cables almost sounded a little compressed by comparison,
the sound just seems to open up more. . . . I could swear I hear more extension in the top as well as the bottom.”
LEW LIPNICK
National Symphony contrabassonist, audio system designer, and audio journalist.
“When one plays music for a living, it is difficult to find an audio component that will satisfy the expectations. Transparent Cables exceed my expectations.”

BOB LUDWIG
Bob's Gateway Studios facility is cabled throughout with Transparent Cable -- even the control boards! Gateway has won 9 TEC Awards, the industry's top award,
for mastering studio and mastering engineer. Gateway recently remastered all 22 Rolling Stones albums . . . on Transparent!
“The difference the cables made was amazing. Obviously cables can’t make the source signal better, but they almost always make it worse! Cables are a source
of noise and other very audible distortions. They can limit resolution, dynamic range and distort the tonal balance. Transparent Audio makes fantastic cables
because they understand how to eliminate the noise problems and create a neutral cable.”
SHAWN MURPHY
Music scoring mixer for noteworthy Hollywood successes such as Apollo 13, Men In Black, Saving Private Ryan, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and The Patriot. Shawn uses Transparent Cable throughout his reference monitoring systems.
PETER POLTON
General Manager, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Austria. Peter’s reference system is cabled throughout with Transparent.
"The recabling of our entire reference sound system in Vienna 4 years ago — with Transparent Ref XL — resulted in the most dramatic overall improvement in
every sonic parameter that I have ever experienced in over 28 years of daily intense work with this equipment. It was as though we were hearing the many treasures of our world
famous recorded history — made in the very sites where Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler, Strauss and other giants actually worked with our predecessors — musically
accurate for the very first time
The latest upgrading to the Ref/Opus MM level has been an even further audio revelation — this is as close to the original source that you can get. In Vienna — the capital
of classical music — we consider it an honor to work with Transparent Cable — a company run by highly knowledgeable music lovers and truly dedicated to producing
the finest, most musical cables in the world
